Under-Reporting of Anti-Muslim Hate Still an Ongoing Problem

The June MET hate crime figures are out and it seems that June’s figures when compared to May’s, finally show a slight drop in the level of anti-Muslim hate crimes that have been reported into the Metropolitan Police Service. However, what is striking is that levels of homophobic crimes are slightly higher when compared to June 2013 and interestingly, levels of antisemitic crimes were also higher when comparing June 2014 to June 2013.

The under-reporting of anti-Muslim hate still remains a stubborn issue and our consistent call to Muslim communities is to report in anti-Muslim hate. Reporting in anti-Muslim hate can save lives and it also ensures some access to justice for the victim. Remember to report in and you can do so by the following means:
