Please provide any statistics relating to the number of deaths in the UK linked or related to hate crimes. This could ideally be for as long as the records go back if you have any.
We said
Thank you for your enquiry.
We are responsible for the production of mortality statistics for England and Wales. National Records Scotland (NRS) and Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) are responsible for publishing the number of deaths registered in Scotland and Northern Ireland. They can be contacted at foi@nrscotland.gov.uk and info@nisra.gov.uk respectively.
Unfortunately, we do not hold any information that would allow us to separately identify deaths that have occurred as a result of a hate crime.
However, you may find the following information useful.
Data on hate crimes recorded by the police in the last three financial years (2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19) in England and Wales, broken down by strand of hate crime, have been published by the Home Office in Table 2 of their "Hate crime, England and Wales, 2018 to 2019" release, available via the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/hate-crime-england-and-wales-2018-to-2019
As data on offences recorded by the police (including hate crimes) are collated by the Home Office, they may be better placed to help you. They can be contacted via email at: crimeandpolicestats@homeoffice.gov.uk.
