Ethnicity of Victims
A significant number of cases in this period involved racism against people described as Traveller (25%) highlighting a notable increase
in reporting from previous periods. Reports of racism against people identified as Black however remained consistently high, with incidents
against people identifying as Black-African constituting twenty percent of reports, with a further seven percent of reports pertaining to racism against other Black identities. Although twelve percent of reports are reported as happening to White Irish people, all but two were based on visibly mixed ethnicity, racism against someone with whom the victim had a relationship, or ethno-religious prejudices constituting racism. Incidents against Jewish people constituted
ten percent of reports in this quarter, while incidents against Muslims constituted eleven percent, slightly lower than in the last quarter.People of Roma background again experienced 7 percent of cases reported, while the number of cases against people identifying as non-Chinese Asian rose to 11 percent in this quarter.
