Non-crime hate incidents (NCHIs): Officials are currently undertaking a monitoring exercise to measure the impact of the NCHI code by collecting data from a number of forces to illustrate the difference in the number of NCHIs recorded before and after the code entered into effect. The data will be ready for review in the new year. Crime recording more broadly: Officials have identified relevant data sources and have developed in depth analytical methodology to support understanding the impact of changes made to crime recording rules as part of Phase 1 of the ongoing review. This will be carried out by December 14th, 2023, and repeated March 2024. Comparison will be against data which predates Phase 1 changes and then December 2023 compared to March 2024.
