1
Monitoring and Prevention of Hate Crime (and
Incidents) in Policing Work
  • Chris Taylor
  • Independent Consultant
  • (Formerly Chief Inspector,
  • Londons Metropolitan Police)

2
UK Police Mission
  • Working together for safer communities
  • to ensure that racist and violent crime is
    prevented and
  • when it occurs it is recognised, investigated
    thoroughly to agreed quality standards and
  • reviewed objectively to enable lessons to be
    learned

3
OSCE Good Police Practice
  • Dependent on relationship of trust and confidence
  • Built on regular communication and practical
    co-operation between police and minorities
  • Greater sensitivity to concerns, and
  • More responsive to requirements for personal
    protection and access to justice in a
    multi-ethnic society

4
Key Areas
  • Intelligenceled approach
  • Support Communities
  • Effective Investigation
  • Prosecution Standards

5
What is a Hate Incident?
  • Hate incident is taken to mean any event where
    the perpetrators prejudice against an
    identifiable group of people is a factor in
    determining who is victimised.
  • You dont have to be from a minority community to
    be a victim.

6
Intelligence Approach
  • The important three things to know about hate
    crimes
  • Who are the most susceptible victims/ potential
    victims?
  • Who are the principal offenders/potential
    offenders?
  • Which areas have the greatest prevalence of crime
    or are at greatest risk from them

7
Support Communities
  • Eradicate hate crime
  • Protection
  • Positive arrest policy
  • Social target hardening

8
Effective Investigations
  • Investigation is a process of problem solving and
    evidence gathering.
  • You cannot have an effective investigation
    without clear identification of the problem.
  • The cost of effect investigation of hate crime is
    high
  • The cost of failure to investigate hate crime
    effectively is far higher

9
Internal Grievances
  • Any incident where
  • an individual is believed to be a victim of
    prejudice
  • the confidence of that person, their
    family/community cannot be assumed or
  • an early internal response is critical to
    safeguard that persons interests and subsequent
    enquiries

10
Why did thing go wrong?
  • Standards Failure
  • Training Failure
  • Leadership Failure
  • Individual Failure

11
CPS Decisions
  • Guided by code of practice for prosecutors
  • 2 tests
  • Sufficiency of evidence to provide a realistic
    prospect of conviction
  • Prosecution needed in the public interest
  • Hate motivation and aggravating circumstances
    placed before the court
  • Victim involvement

12
Conclusion
  • A Awareness reduce tensions that could lead to
    hate conflict.
  • B Bridge Building from all sides and
    institutions
  • C Communication dialogue with other public
    authorities and local organisations especially at
    the local level
  • D Developing People/Organisations enforce and
    monitor anti-discrimination standards vigorously
    and effectively and ensure incidents are fully
    recorded, investigated and supervised
  • E Ethical Appreciate that successful police
    work must be based on a considered judgement of
    what is just and proper in each situation.
