Telegraph - review of ‘non-crime’ hate recording

[AnneofScreamFables]

On the front page of the Telegraph this morning (I saw on the BBC) Priti Patel is to review the recording of ‘non-crime hate incidents’. Does anyone have the paper and can give more detail?

Thank you! Looking promising.

Hmm, it says in the sub-heading (I can't read the article without paying) that she has asked the College of Policing for a review. But aren't the College of Policing captured?
Not saying that it isn't a step in the right direction, of course

Good.

Excellent news. I'm guessing this means that the judgement for Harry the Owl is likely to be released soon and that it will be favourable.

Great news.

Asst Chief Constable Iain Raphael, of the College of Policing, said: "Freedom of speech is an essential part of our democracy. The guidance helps police balance the rights and needs of people complaining of non-criminal hate incidents without impinging on freedom of expression. Non-crime hate incidents can be precursors to subsequent violent crime.

"Without recording these incidents, we would not be collecting the information across communities which police need to monitor the build-up of tensions within a community. We would risk the police having a blind spot in their local understanding, hampering their ability to protect members of vulnerable and marginalised groups, and preventing future criminal behaviour."

Yet the same article highlights that despite 120k reports of non hate crimes since 2014, no crimes have been prevented.

If after 7 years and 120k reports this hypothesis of preventing crime is still not proven, perhaps the conclusion is that it doesn't prevent crime, Mr Asst Chief Constable?
