The Home Office and Hate Crimes Against White Victims
The government confirms it holds no risk assessments or internal discussions on racially motivated attacks against white individuals.
Back in February 2025, I submitted a Freedom of Information request to the Home Office seeking information on how racially motivated violent attacks against White victims are treated in law enforcement policy and government oversight.
What I received in return has only deepened public concerns over equal treatment, and whether the UK government applies consistent risk assessment standards when it comes to hate crime and isn’t “two-tier” as many are concerned about.
The Request:
I asked three basic questions:
Classification & Guidance – Are there any specific guidelines issued to police forces for classifying racially motivated attacks against White people? Are terms like “white genocide” or “colonial retribution” treated as indicators of hate crime? Are there distinctions in how attacks on different racial groups are classified?
Recorded Incidents – How many such attacks have been recorded since 2015 where the suspect expressed racial animosity toward White people?
Risk Assessment & Oversight – Has the Home Office ever conducted any internal assessments or policy reviews on the threat of anti-White hate crime?
What They Told Me
The Home Office confirmed that hate crimes against White victims are recorded. However, they also revealed the following:
No internal risk assessments have ever been conducted specifically on anti-White hate crimes.
No policy discussions or oversight exist regarding the threat posed by these types of attacks.
No guidance has been issued on how these incidents should be publicly communicated.
Instead, all racially motivated hate crimes, regardless of the victim’s background, are processed under a generic set of operational guidelines known as Authorised Professional Practice (APP).
Additionally, while the Home Office claimed some data is available publicly, it refused to release a breakdown of incidents by police force area unless specifically requested.
There is a clear public interest in understanding how all communities are protected under the law. If the government conducts risk assessments and policy reviews for some racial groups but not others, this undermines the principle of equal protection.
The admission that the Home Office has never reviewed the threat of anti-White hate crimes calls into question its commitment to impartiality and public safety. At a time when trust in institutions is low, transparency is essential.
The sentencing council recently confirmed that courts will normally consider pre-sentencing reports for offenders who fall into specific identity groups or vulnerable categories — but show that there is no such standard provision for straight white men or Christians.
This has been struck down at the very wire, where conservative MP Robert Jenrick gave a scathing speech about this two-tier justice approach.
What Next?
I've now submitted a follow-up FOI request asking for the regional breakdown of hate crimes against White victims. If this data is already being collected, the public has a right to see it.
I will continue pressing for answers.
