In short, the report proposes to end the use of police crime systems for recording non-crime incidents. That effectively abolishes the regime of non-crime hate incidents altogether. Incidents recorded as anti-social behaviour hostility would be recorded on intelligence systems, but only if they meet a very high threshold where there is genuine harm or risk within communities. The totality of that change would free up resources; it would prevent the police being drawn into areas that they should not be. It would, in short, be a sea-change in the way in which these matters are dealt with, and it would see an end to the current regime of non-crime hate incidents entirely.
