<p>The Ministry of Justice has published information regarding prosecutions and convictions
but the only hate crime offences specifically defined in legislation are ‘racially
or religiously aggravated’ offences. The court outcomes for these offences can be
found here:</p><p><a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/802314/outcomes-by-offence-tool-2018.xlsx"
target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/802314/outcomes-by-offence-tool-2018.xlsx</a></p><p>Filter
by ‘Offence’ for offences starting with ‘racially or religiously aggravated…’ and
select all that appear.</p><p> </p><p>As hate crime against individuals with learning
disabilities is not specifically defined in legislation, we would not be able to distinguish
whether or not a particular offence was related to a learning disability. For example,
a relevant case could have the offence recorded simply as ‘common assault’. The level
of detail required to answer this question may be held in court records, but to be
able to identify these cases we would have to access and analyse individual court
records which would be of disproportionate cost.</p>
