The Home Office review of 2020-21 confirmed that, nationally, ethnicity data is poorly collected, incomplete and often unusable. We have different data collected across numerous police areas, with no consistency whatever. We need to collect ethnicity as well as nationality, and we need to collect it for victims, so that we can see what the dynamics are in communities and the police can take the relevant steps. His Majesty’s inspectorate has also confirmed that demographic accuracy is essential for identifying risk.
