Police ‘betray’ Jews as anti-Semitic hate crime soars – report
Published time: 17 Jul, 2017 13:01
Anti-Semitic hate crime surged to record levels last year, according to a new report, prompting warnings that Jewish people in Britain are enduring “intolerable” levels of abuse.
The Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) says at the same time the number of charges fell “drastically,” with alleged perpetrators charged in fewer than a tenth of cases. They also claim a “paltry” 15 cases were prosecuted last year.
The CAA gathered 2016 crime data from all UK police forces through Freedom of Information requests.
