It leads, most tragically, to community relations deteriorating. That is where we must take action, to prevent further breakdown in a world where things become more polarised by the day. Communities can feel stigmatised or ignored because the state refuses to publish correct information. Victims feel disregarded, while those who are not associated with crimes but feel labelled by association are also damaged. Policing becomes inefficient and reactive. Without ethnicity data, forces cannot target hotspots, disrupt networks early on or identify patterns across local authority boundaries.
