The Olympics have just ended. I'm not sure how many of you watched the event but during the women’s 5,000 metres, something happened that inspired people around the world.
The CPS (Crown Prosecution Service) announced recently that hate crime prosecutions have risen by 4.7% from the previous year with a 41% increase in disability hate crime prosecutions. This is great news as it means more hate crimes are being recognised, reported, and taken seriously. However, I suspect that disability hate crime reporting and prosecutions are actually still very low.
