Should the government release hate crime figures broken down by nationality?

Home Office statistics for England and Wales record victim ethnicity in racially or religiously aggravated hate crimes where known, showing Asian victims at 33%, White at 30% and Black at 23% in year ending March 2025. Offender nationality is not routinely published for hate crimes, though foreign national offender data exists separately for general crime and prisons. Northern Ireland police publish some victim nationality data for race crimes. Calls for more granular offender breakdowns have grown amid debates on migration and crime.

We should just release all offender demographics. If certain cohorts are offending at a higher rate than average for the number of individuals in that demographic, target integration, if they aren't, any myth dies. You can't govern a serious country or build public consent with a permanent bureaucratic blindfold on the taxpayer.

No, there is no hate crimes - only crimes. I would gladly see crime statistics per capita in multiple angles: age, sex, faith, nationality, ethnicity etc. The more we will know the easier it will be to prevent new crimes.

All the vital statistics for the country should be publicly available for scrutiny. Anything being hidden is being withheld to save face or cover Uniparty policy errors. Public Interest Immunity (PII) requires reform. It is regularly abused, just like Section 12 of FOIA.

Proud to say this was my question — bluntly I think it’s obscene that we do not ask who is doing these crimes and I suspect the native population is underrepresented in the perpetrator figures. I also think we should be including anti-white attacks in the figures and seeing where those come from. In general it’s a disgrace that we don’t give the people vital information on who is causing the division in society!
