Dear Emily Silcock

FOI Request Reference: 773A 23

Thank you for your request for information, received 8/5/2023

REQUEST

Please could you provide me with the number of disability-related hate
crimes reported between 1st January 2019 and 31st December 2019, broken
down by the day they were reported.

To be clear, I would like the total number for each day separately, so a
sample dataset could have every date in 2019 in the first column and the
number of reports made in the second column. If you could provide this in
excel, or another spreadsheet, format, that would be great.

Additionally, if possible, could you further break down these numbers into
offence type (public order, violence against the person with injury,
violence against the person without injury, stalking, harassment, criminal
damage, arson, other etc.). I would also like this data at a daily level.

RESPONSE

Please note that these data should be interpreted with caution. Comparing
numbers of incidents/crimes can be misleading and does not necessarily
indicate the likelihood of someone being a victim of crime. In addition,
the number of incidents/crimes recorded in an area over a period of time
can be influenced by a number of factors. Consequently, statistics on
incidents/crimes for one period may not necessarily be a good indicator of
future incidents in that area.

Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and
complete. However, it is important to note that these data have been
extracted from a number of data sources used by forces for police
purposes. The detail collected to respond specifically to your request is
subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large-scale recording system.
As a consequence, care should be taken to ensure data collection processes
and their inevitable limitations are considered when interpreting those
data.

The figures provided therefore are our best interpretation of relevance of
data to your request, but you should be aware that the collation of
figures for ad hoc requests may have limitations and this should be
considered when those data are used.

If you decide to write an article / use the enclosed data we would ask you
to take into consideration the factors highlighted in this document so as
to not mislead members of the public or official bodies, or misrepresent
the relevance of the whole or any part of this disclosed material.

As recommended as good practice by the Information Commissioner’s Office a
version of this response may be published on the West Midlands Police
website.
