o Any notes or caveats concerning data quality, recording changes, or differences in flagging methods since 2022 (e.g. IT system changes or new recording policies).
Data Limitations:
Adding a Hate Crime qualifier is a manual process; therefore, this allows space for human error when recording crimes.
Niche Hate or Prejudice Occurrences app provides information from the Niche database, therefore data surrounding Non-Crime Hate Incidents can only be gathered from 14th November 2022.
Non-Crime Hate Incidents are not recorded to differentiate between specific religions, just the Hate Type(s), i.e., Racial and/or Religion or belief.
