She links to the article: Hate crimes reach record high as offences against transgender people double

It would seem from the article these are recorded crimes, rather than convictions.
It states that the Home Office on Thursday said: “Transgender identity hate crimes rose by 56 per cent (from 2,799 to 4,355) over the same period.
But also informs us that the trend “is likely to have been mainly driven by improvements in crime recording by the police”.
It also informs us that half of hate crimes are public order offences, which include words or behaviour causing harassment, alarm or distress, while 41 per cent were violence against the person and others included criminal damage and arson. One presumes this is all hate crimes not just those on trans people.
From my reading of the article (and I may have got it wrong), these are recorded hate crimes, such as someone upset by reading a tweet and phoning the police. If this is the case it may be even the case that all the trans hate crimes (4,355) were no more than people stating they felt upset by a tweet and recording it as a hate crime.
The article also informs us that less than one in 10 hate crimes result in a prosecution (overall hate crimes).
And this is important, as what is more important is how many reported crimes turned out to be a real crime with a conviction? It is possible that 0 people were convicted on a hate crime against trans people (I do not think the article stated, if I did I missed it).
I would suggest that the MP should be carful posting this as it in my opinion is giving a false impression.
Just because someone reports a tweet does not mean it is a crime, and the police do seem to have started recording things that are not criminal, as if they were crimes.
