Britain will order a review of how police deal with hate crimes after a sharp rise in offences reported following last month's vote to leave the European Union. Almost 6,200 hate crimes have been reported in Britain over the month since the June 23 referendum, which saw immigration become a key issue during a bitter and deeply divisive campaign. The action plan will also set out plans to work with schools on tackling hatred and prejudice and ensuring better reporting of hate crime incidents, as well as looking at how to prevent hate crimes on public transport. Rudd will announce plans to commission Britain's independent overseer of police, Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary, to review police understanding of hate crime and how forces respond to it, her office said. Hatred has no place whatsoever in a 21st century Great Britain that works for everyone," she said.
