But you haven't answered the points I've raised. They are simple yes or no questions.
A non-crime hate incident is any incident perceived by the victim, or any other person, to be motivated either entirely or partly by malice and ill-will towards a person or group based on the victim’s actual or perceived membership of one or more of the characteristics, but which does not constitute a criminal offence. Non-crime hate incidents are not recorded against the other party.
Most things are more complex than a simple yes or no no and it's been 10 years since I worked in related fields so i don't know current working practices and as such I don't know definitively what systems are accessed as part of the enhanced disclosure process .
The poster Beagle was a cop maybe he can provide you with the definitive answers you are after.
All I can do is condense what I wrote above into the most salient points.
A Police incident report and a crime report are not the same thing and I think this is confusing you.
An incident report is in effect an incident log.
It is a retrievable record, it states
who reported the incident,
when and where it was reported,
what was reported,
who noted the report,
the identities of the cops that attended, time they were informed, time they arrived and left any location and their findings
the result - crime report, no crime, arrest etc
Without an incident report for a non crime incident there would be nothing to show that a report or enquiry had ever made which could result in accusations of a cover up etc. There are a whole host of other issues which non recording could cause but I'll leave them out for the sake of brevity.
