内政部表示,英格兰和威尔士的仇恨犯罪数量出现了“真实的增长”,这主要是由更多针对种族和宗教的犯罪引发的。
Hate crime numbers in England and Wales have seen "a genuine increase", the Home Office says, sparked by more offences motivated by race and religion.
警方提供给政府的数据显示,在2025年4月至2026年3月期间,记录的仇恨犯罪近15万起。
Figures supplied to the government by police forces suggest nearly 150,000 hate crimes were recorded between April 2025 and March 2026.
与前一年的近14万起相比,这一数字增长了7%。数据还显示,因性取向、残疾和跨性别身份而记录的仇恨犯罪保持不变或有所下降。
It is a 7% increase from nearly 140,000 the year before. The data also suggests recorded hate crimes motivated by sexual orientation, disability and transgender identity are unchanged or falling.

Racially-motivated offences accounted for the majority of all police recorded hate crimes, at around 74%, with about 8% of other hate crimes classified as religious.
内政部表示,过去一年这些犯罪的增加是由扰乱公共秩序犯罪的增加引起的,这些犯罪通常表现为恐吓和虐待,但涉及暴力和蓄意破坏的犯罪也被纳入了统计数据。
The Home Office said the rise in these offences over the last year was due to an increase in public order offences, often taking the form of intimidation and abuse, but crimes involving violence and vandalism were also included in the statistics.
报告称:“在过去两年中,仇恨犯罪数量的上升并未在总体暴力和扰乱公共秩序犯罪的趋势中体现出来。”
"In the last two years, there has been a rise in hate crime offences that is not seen in the overall violent and public order offences trend," the report said.
“这可能表明,在过去两年中,仇恨犯罪确实有所增加。”在种族和宗教相关的仇恨犯罪中,已知受害者族裔的案件中,约三分之一的受害者被识别为亚裔,约四分之一被识别为黑人。

The increase in hate crimes targeting Muslims (from 4,479 to 5,132 offences) showed a particular rise in September of last year, which the Home Office said "coincided with a number of protests and incidents of public order".
今年春季美国与以色列发动对伊朗的战争后,针对穆斯林和犹太人的仇恨犯罪案件均有发生。
There were hate crimes targeting both Muslims and Jewish people following the start of the war in Iran launched by the US and Israel in the spring of this year.
自2023年以色列与哈马斯冲突爆发以来,反犹仇恨犯罪一直居高不下,但在2025年10月曼彻斯特希顿公园犹太教堂发生致命袭击事件后,案件数量出现急剧上升。
Antisemitic hate crimes have been at elevated levels since the beginning of the conflict between Israel and Hamas in 2023, but saw a spike in October 2025 following the fatal attack at the Heaton Park Synagogue in Manchester.

Other attacks followed in the months after, including in March when four Jewish community ambulances were torched in Golders Green, north London. Prosecutors say the incident was a targeted attack against the Jewish community.
