FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST REFERENCE NO: FOI-785-2023
I write in connection with your request for information which was received on 21st August 2023 as follows:
Please can you provide a breakdown of the number (how many) and locations of all Islamophobic incidents that took place in any mosque, street, private dwelling, or other venue in the police force area over the last three years?
Please find the Warwickshire Police response set out below.
Response: Where you have asked for information in relation to ‘Islamophobic incidents’, this has been interpreted as asking for hate incidents - non-crime investigations. With this in mind, searches were conducted for all such incidents, recorded during the period 1st April 2020 to 31st March 2023, of ‘Hate – Muslim’ and or ‘Hate – Racial’. The resulting records were then manually reviewed for relevance and to determine the location type. The resulting records are set out below.
