"The review, conducted alongside the College of Policing, said that officers were increasingly being drawn into 'policing the online space' and existing guidance on recording them, dating from 2011, should be redrawn."
"NCHIs are recorded when police receive a report perceived by the caller to be motivated by hate or hostility towards people characteristics such as race or gender, but which does not meet the bar for prosecution under hate crime laws."
The government plans to revise the recording of non-crime hate incidents (NCHIs) in England and Wales, aiming to reduce police involvement in everyday disputes. New Home Office guidance will direct police to log only incidents relevant to policing. This change follows a review indicating that the current system has led to excessive policing of social media debates. NCHIs, which are not crimes but can affect job applications, have seen a significant increase in recordings, particularly during major events.
