Recorded anti-Muslim hate crime hit all-time highs while under-reporting persists

Evidence

Hate crime figures for the last 12 months have been the highest since records began, and in one month alone anti-Muslim hate crime increased by 500%. The number of Islamophobic incidents recorded is at an all-time high, and all while it’s accepted that the problem is under-reported. The government’s latest Hate Crime Action Plan accepts that only 25% of actual hate crimes are reported to the police. — Runnymede Trust (ed. Farah Elahi & Omar Khan), Islamophobia, 33
