Hate Crime Scrutiny Panel
In South Yorkshire we are committed to improving the way in which we prosecute hate crimes to meet the needs of our communities. We have therefore set up a Hate Crime Scrutiny Panel together with CPS Humberside, to look at hate crime cases and to highlight ways in which we can improve our approach in the future.
The panel will consider cases where the motivation for the crime was the victim's race/religion, sexuality or disability. The cases examined will have already been through the Criminal Justice System, and will include both successful and unsuccessful cases.
Panel Selection
The 2007-2008 panel selection is now complete. The next recruitment exercise is likley to be in the autumn.
