Recommendation 10

Implementing the recommendations set out in the Law Commission’s Hate Crime Laws: Final Report could improve the ability of the police and Crown Prosecution Service to tackle hate crime, including intersectional hate crime. Such reforms would also signal support to communities affected by intersectional hate crime and encourage broader initiatives to combat it. It is therefore disappointing that, despite the Law Commission’s report being published in 2021, its recommendations have not yet been adopted. While the current Government made a commitment to review the recommendations in November 2024, a year later there has been no further update. (Conclusion, Paragraph 67)
