Yvette Cooper has said trying to get the police to record fewer non-crime hate incidents’ (NCHIs) was a dreadful mistake.

The College of Policing said such acts should always be recorded as NCHIs, even if there’s zero evidence that the perp was in fact motivated by hatred.

The perception of the victim, or indeed a third party, is all that matters.

Having an NCHI recorded against your name has serious consequences, because it can show up in an enhanced criminal record check and prevent you getting a job.
