answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2023 answer text <p>The Government is clear that all forms of hate crime - including homophobic, biphobic and transphobic hate crime - are completely unacceptable.</p><p>We have a robust legislative framework in place and expect the police fully to investigate these abhorrent offences and make sure those who commit them feel the full force of the law.</p><p>Whilst part of the increase in transgender hate crime may be due to a genuine rise, the biggest driver is likely to be general improvement in police recording and identification of a hate crime, along with increased victim willingness to come forward. This is positive and reflects the hard work that has gone in to ensuring that police can target their resources, understand the scale of the challenge and ensure that victims get the support they need.</p><p> </p><p>Our absolute priority is to get more police into our streets, cut crime, protect the public and bring more criminals to justice. We are supporting police by providing them with the resources they need, including having recruited 20,000 additional police officers by March 2023. We also engage with relevant stakeholders when appropriate to do so.</p> answering member constituency Derbyshire Dales answering member printed Miss Sarah Dines grouped question UIN 201721 question first answered 23/10/2023 12:06:35 answering member 4816 label Biography information for Miss Sarah Dines
