Tories call for ban on recording ‘non-crime hate incidents’

Police forces should be banned from recording ‘non-crime hate incidents’ except in very limited circumstances, the Conservatives have said (Joe Giddens/PA) - (PA Wire)

Police officers should be banned from recording “non-crime hate incidents” (NCHIs) in all but a few cases, the Conservatives have said.

Kemi Badenoch said her party would put forward an amendment to the Government’s Crime and Policing Bill banning the practice, except where a senior officer thought the information would assist in the detection or prevention of a future crime.
