  • Fraud and Cyber Crime

    • Reference: 2022/1233
    • Question by: Neil Garratt
    • Meeting date: 24 March 2022
    We know that fraud and cyber crime represent 53% of all crime, and is growing. Often this type of crime requires very different skills from traditional policing.

    The Assembly has heard from the Met and City of London Police on the extent of online fraud. This is a huge growing area of crime that is going to be a permanent feature of the digital world.

  • Non-crime hate incidents (1)

    • Reference: 2022/0162
    • Question by: Neil Garratt
    • Meeting date: 20 January 2022
    Do you recognise the potential for non-crime hate incidents (NCHIs) to be reported mistakenly, frivolously, or maliciously? Since reports of NCHIs can appear on Enhanced DBS checks as required for many jobs, false accusations can have serious consequences for someone’s life and career. What safeguards are in place to avoid this, both at the stage of recording the incident and of that incident later being disclosed to a potential employer such as via DBS?
  • Non-crime hate incidents (2)

    • Reference: 2022/0163
    • Question by: Neil Garratt
    • Meeting date: 20 January 2022
    In its judgment on Harry Miller v The College of Policing, the Court of Appeal found that the College of Policing’s guidance on recording non-crime hate incidents (NCHIs) did not properly recognise the Article 10 right to free speech. This created an undesirable situation where legitimate political disagreement became a police matter, and where people felt coerced by the police not to express perfectly legal, legitimate political views. How does the Metropolitan Police’s approach to NCHIs balance the competing policy objectives of tackling hate crime and protecting the Article 10 right to free speech?
