Police 'Ignore Hate Crimes Against Disabled'
Police are ignoring hate crimes against disabled people, according to a new report from a leading learning disability charity, Mencap.
Mencap claims disabled people are being left to suffer violence, harassment and abuse because police efforts to tackle disability hate crime are failing.
The report, Don't Stand By, says many police forces do not understand the crimes and do not have strategies in place to tackle them.
The study was carried out with the help of 14 police forces across England.
It cites examples of where low-level harassment was ignored by police and allowed to escalate into sustained abuse with fatal consequences.
