Police dealt with 7,000 hate crime reports in first week of Scotland’s new law

SNP said huge increase in reports showed why the new law was 'required'

Only 240 of the reports have been recorded as hate crimes for investigation by Police Scotland, with the vast majority not deemed worthy of further attention.However, SNP minister Angela Constance, Scotland’s Justice Secretary, defended the new hate crime law and said the number of recorded hate crimes showed why it was “required”.

Of these, 240 were recorded as hate crimes – 3.3 per cent of all reports – while 30 were logged as non-crime hate incidents, meaning they did not meet the threshold for a criminal offence, but details will be kept on file. Slides produced by Police Scotland also showed that only two complaints made under the new law stemming from the Old Firm match between Rangers and Celtic on Sunday.
