The police are recording too many hate crime incidents and getting involved in disputes that include “hurt feelings”, the police watchdog has warned in a new report.
Officers are having to take action that “may appear to contradict common sense” and there is a culture of “if in doubt, record a crime”, Andy Cooke, His Majesty’s chief inspector of constabulary, has said.
A sample review of 120 cases of non-crime incidents and hate crimes found that 30 should not have been recorded at all. The report examined whether the police are too politically correct.
