Please supply statistics on hate crimes by UK city if possible. Ideally this data would be broken down by both incidents in each city and then type of incident (racism, homophobia, sexual assault etc), if the details of these findings are available.
In addition, if there's any possibility of breaking down crime victims by gender, race and sexuality, that would also be greatly appreciated.
