Dear Ms Silcock,

 

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST

 

I write in connection with your request for information as shown below.

 

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 other 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.
However, if that is not possible, then I would still like the first half
of the request.

 

Your request will now be considered in accordance with the Freedom of
Information Act 2000 (the Act). You should expect to receive a response
within the statutory timescale of 20 working days as defined by the Act,
subject to the information not being exempt or containing a reference to a
third party. In some circumstances Derbyshire Constabulary may be unable
to achieve this deadline. If this is likely you will be informed and given
a revised timescale at the earliest opportunity.

 

There may be a fee payable for the retrieval, collation and provision of
the information you request. If this is the case you will be informed and
the 20 working day timescale will be suspended until we receive payment
from you. If you choose not to make payment then your request will remain
unanswered.

 

Some requests may also require either full or partial transference to
another public authority in order to answer your query in the fullest
possible way. Again, you will be informed if this is the case.

 

Should you have any further enquiries concerning this matter, please write
or contact the Freedom of Information Officer, on the telephone number
below quoting the reference number shown in the header of this e-mail.

 

Yours sincerely

Derbyshire Constabulary Freedom of Information response.

Dear Ms Silcock

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST - REFERENCE NO: 01/FOI/23/004447/Q

 

I write in connection with your request for information which was received
by Derbyshire Constabulary on 08/05/2023. I note you seek access to the
following information:

 

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 other 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.
However, if that is not possible, then I would still like the first half
of the request.

 

Result of Searches

 

Following receipt of your request, searches were conducted within
Derbyshire Constabulary to locate any relevant information. The searches
located information relevant to your request.

 

Decision

 

I have today decided to disclose the located information to you in full.

 

Please see attached PDF document for details of the information you have
requested.

 

In relation to this data please note the following:

 

• The data has been extracted from the Constabulary’s Crime System which
is, to all intent a ‘living’ system in that it is constantly being
updated. As such the data can only be verified for the date/time
extracted.

 

• Police forces in the United Kingdom are routinely required to provide
crime statistics to government bodies and the recording criteria is set
nationally. However, the systems used for recording these figures are not
generic, nor are the procedures used locally in capturing the crime data.
It should be noted that for these reasons this Constabulary’s response to
your questions should not be used for comparison purposes with any other
response you may receive.

Right to Request a Review (Complaint)

 

Your attention is drawn to the below information, which details your right

Yours sincerely

 

Mr A Stokes
