<p>The Home Office receives information on the number of hate crimes recorded by the
police at the police force area level. Data are therefore available for Lancashire
and for the aggregated forces in the North West and are on a financial year basis
for the three years, 2011/12, 2012/13 and 2013/14. The available information is shown
in the table below.</p><table><tbody><tr><td colspan="5"><strong>Number of hate crimes

to the total number of motivating factors in hate crimes. Some hate crimes will involve
more than one motivating factor. Figures for 2012/13 and 2013/14 relate to the number
of offences that were hate crimes, rather than the number of motivting factors.</td><td>
