Disability Hate crime response

The request was successful.

Dear North Wales Police,
I have gathered media reports about attacks and murders of disabled people in different regions.
Your area has significant news articles about such attacks which includes four murders of disabled people and ten attacks.
I would like to know what work you are doing, or planning to do, to respond to this issue under your legal duties under the DDA and Human Rights legislation to eliminate harassment against disabled people and the human right to live free from such attacks and have such attacks addressed by public bodies?
Could you send me any plans you have plus your Disability equality scheme which details your proposed actions under your duty to eliminate harassment against disabled people please?
As any details of attacks which get to the media are few I would also like any records you have of crimes of hostility against disabled people.

Yours faithfully,
A. Novis
