Dear Greater Manchester Police,

Can you confirm:

1. Asian - Chinese and Other - Chinese overlap or are distinct counts of hate crime? We want to avoid double counting.
2. Can you split up for hate crimes (so do not count hate incidents)?

Many thanks for your help.

Yours faithfully,

Ms Y Wang

Good Afternoon

Q1- We've searched for crimes where the victim's self-defined ethnicity is either 'Asian - Chinese' or 'Other - Chinese'. These are the categories that are in our systems. These are distinct counts.

Q2 - Please see attached a spreadsheet where you can filter to split the Hate Crimes and Hate Incidents.

I hope this helps.

Thanks

Kind Regards
