Description

Critics have attacked the Government's hate crime action plan following Brexit. Former Director of Public Prosecutions Keir Starmer says it isn't fit for purpose. Meanhwhile 5 live Investigates reveals the wave of racially and religiously motivated attacks have returned to more 'predictable' levels for the first time since the Brexit vote. True Vision, the joint police and Home Office hate-crime reporting portal, recorded levels of hate crime over the past three weeks similar to the figures seen at the end of last summer. However, concerns still remain that prosecutions of hate crime are failing to keep pace with steep rises in reports of hate crime over the past two years. And three Asian women from three cities in England and Wales reveal what it's like to live in post Brexit Britain.
