The controversial practice of recording non-crime hate incidents (NCHIs) has sparked heated debates, especially after cases like that of journalist Allison Pearson became public.
Chairman of the College of Policing, Nick Herbert, has suggested that the government should consider scrapping the recording of NCHIs, as it has become an impediment to police work.
Despite calls to scrap NCHIs, supporters argue that recording such incidents is crucial for addressing intentional hostility and prejudice in society.
Under the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022, NCHIs must be recorded by police, but the definition and implications of NCHIs remain contentious.
