mar 18, 2021 - Misogyny hate crimes to be recorded by police UK

Description:

The government has said it will "on an experimental basis" ask the police to record crimes of violence motivated by a person's sex or gender.

A hate crime is deemed to have been committed when someone is assaulted or harassed because of their race, religion, sexual orientation, disability or transgender identity.

Seven police forces in England and Wales have already introduced their own misogyny hate crime policy - including Nottinghamshire Police.

An evaluation of the policy in Nottinghamshire said the move had led to "shifting attitudes as a result".
