East and Southeast Asian Hate Crimes

For a project mapping temporal/ regional hate crime data across the UK, we write to request:

- the number of racist hate crimes and/or hate incidents reported

- by month and year

- where the victim(s) comprise of the Relevant Groups (see list below), broken down by each group where possible. And would like data for the following years, broken down by each month:

- 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 (for this year, up until the FOI response date or whatever are the most recent statistics).

FORMAT: Please provide the data in an Excel spreadsheet.

If you can’t provide a list of hate crimes by month/ year with individual details, please structure the summarised data with the following column headings:

- Month

- Year

- Number of hate crimes

- Number of hate incidents

- Ethnicity/ethnic appearance

THE RELEVANT GROUPS: We are interested in the following ‘relevant’ ESEA groups. If, like Police Scotland, you can provide us with all your hate crime data for all ethnic groups, however, please do- it makes it easier to compare trends.

THE RELEVANT GROUPS:

• Chinese
• East Asian 
• Southeast Asian 
• "Oriental"
• Mainland China
• Hong Kong
• Macau
• Taiwan
• Japan
• Mongolia
• North Korea
• South Korea
• Thailand
• Vietnam
• Malaysia
• Singapore
• the Philippines
• Laos
• Indonesia
• Brunei
• Burma (Myanmar)
• Cambodia and Timor-Leste 
• Or any that had such appearance (set out above)
• Asian (less useful as we need the granularity)
