JL recently published an article about Hate Crime: [65,791 Hate Crimes. Under 3% Convicted. Nobody Can Define "Hate"](https://www.thealmightygob.com/p/65791-hate-crimes-under-3-convicted?ref=bristol-uncovered.uk)

This article isn't about **Hate Crime**, it is about **Non Crime Hate Incidents (NCHI)**. This table explains the difference.

I submitted a [Freedom of Information request](https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/details%5Fof%5Fhate%5Fcrime%5Fincident%5Fr?ref=bristol-uncovered.uk#incoming-3185101) to Avon and Somerset Police about NCHI. This article analyses data on NCHI between 2015 and 2024.

## Non Crime Hate Incidents in Bristol

### How Many?

Whilst the trend over the last 9 years has risen, the good news is that NHCI reports have gone down in Bristol for the past 2 years. This could mean that Bristol is getting less "hatey", or that people are just reporting fewer NCHIs.

### NCHI Report by year

## Who are the Non Crime Hate Incidents targeted at?

Avon and Somerset Police did not provide the category details for Bristol, but they did provide the numbers for the whole of the Avon and Somerset Police area.

Total NCHI Reports between 2015 and 2024.

### Top 5 Categories

The key change to call out is that **Gender** hate incidents, overtook **Transphobic** hate incidents in 2024\. **Disability** hate incidents are the second highest category of hate incidents after **Racial**.

### NCHI reports for each year between 2015 and 2024

### Religion or belief

The key call out is that **Anti Jewish** hate incidents have become the highest category of anti religious hate incidents.

### Religion or belief NCHI reports for each year between 2015 and 2024

When you compare this category of NCHIs with the religious makeup of Bristol you see that the biggest variance is between the Jewish population and Anti Jewish NCHIs.
