UK: investigation reveals over 2,600 crime victims reported to Home Office
A recent investigation by newspaper The New Statesman, based on data obtained by the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants (JCWI), revealed that police reported over 2,600 crime victims to the Home Office since May 2020. Advocates at JCWI underline that numbers may be higher since not everyone who reports a crime to the police is recognised as a crime victim. Advocates further highlight that fears over data-sharing keep many away from police and never report a crime.
