Original Note:
The claims of “rising hate in Scotland” are demonstrably false. The latest data from the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service shows the total number of charges reported containing at least one element of hate crime was 5,738 in 2022-23, 2% fewer than in 2021-22. https://www.copfs.gov.uk/publications/hate-crime-in-scotland-2022-23/html/#:~:text=In%202022%2D23%2C%205%2C738%20charges,numbers%20reported%20since%202013%2D14.&text=The%20majority%20of%20hate%20crime%20charges%20contain%20a%20racial%20element.
