FOI Reference: 495/2024
Request 1:
I am requesting data to do research on the effects of the recent wars in Ukraine and Gaza on racial and religious hate crime. I would like to have a list of hate crimes reported to the police with the following information for each incident: hate crime bias (race, faith, etc.), crime subclassification (violence against the person, arson, harassment, etc.), date (at least month and year, day also is preferred), indicator if police reported race/religion as Jewish, indicator if victim reported race/religion as Jewish, indicator if police reported ethnicity or nationality as Ukrainian, indicator if victim reported ethnicity or nationality as Ukrainian, indicator if police reported ethnicity or nationality as Russian, indicator if victim reported ethnicity or nationality as Russian, indicator if police reported religion is Islam or race is Arab/Middle Eastern, and indicator if victim reported religion is Islam or race is Arab/Middle Eastern. I would like this data for the years 2019-2023.
If a list of hate crimes reported is not possible I would instead ask for a monthly count of racial or religious hate crime against each of the four groups (Ukrainian, Russian, Jewish, Muslim or Arab).
Finally, I would like a count of total monthly hate crime broken down by racial, faith, disability, sexual orientation, and Transgender for the same period as above.
Request 2:
As a second project I will look at the relationship between education and hate crime participation. For this I would like a list of arrests for hate crime with the following information: hate crime bias, date of incident (at least year, month and day preferred), birthdate of suspect (at least year, month also preferred), suspect gender, and suspect ethnicity. Of these, the last two are not required and can be omitted if necessary to avoid this request being denied. I would like this data for as many years possible, as early as 2012, with preference for more recent years.
Response 1:
I can confirm that Dyfed-Powys Police does hold the information requested, as outlined below.

It should be noted that as a result of the systems adopted by Dyfed-Powys Police in relation to the recording of such information that the information released may or may not be accurate.
Furthermore, it should also be noted that Police forces in the United Kingdom are routinely required to provide crime statistics to government bodies and the recording criteria is set nationally. However, the systems used for recording these figures are not generic, nor are the procedures used locally in capturing the crime data. It should be noted that for these reasons this force's response to your questions should not be used for comparison purposes with any other response you may receive.
