<p>The Government condemns all forms of hate crime including antisemitism. Nobody
should be attacked because of their race, religion, sexual orientation, transgender
identity or disability. In July 2016, we published Action Against Hate: The UK Government’s
Plan for Tackling Hate Crime, which we will be refreshing this year.</p><p> </p><p>We
work closely with the police and the Community Security Trust (CST), who are members
of the Cross Government Working Group on Tackling Antisemitism, alongside other Jewish
stakeholders. In their recent report, the CST recorded 1,382 antisemitic incidents
reported across the UK in the 2017, a 3 per cent increase from the 1,346 incidents
recorded during 2016.</p><p> </p><p>Individual police forces collate and analyse intelligence
on the number of antisemitic incidents, in order to inform local operational decisions
and to provide adequate protection at times of demand. The National Police Chiefs
Council (NPCC) analyses this intelligence to inform forces of any emerging challenges.</p>
