I'm not sure how it differs from CPS guidance, but the PPS information, which would be the relevant one in N Ireland is here.

thanks caughta

When the PPS guidance says Hate crime can be committed in many different contexts whether it be activities organised by gangs, action targeted at individuals’ homes or random attacks in public places, would it apply in this case if Dermott discussed attacks on women, with anyone beforehand?

I agree they should be looking into his online history the same way they would with other terrorist attacks.
