The UK proposes harsher penalties for LGBTQ+ and disability hate crimes, matching those for race and religion-based offenses.
The UK is proposing to classify hate crimes against LGBTQ+ people and those with disabilities as aggravated offences in England and Wales, aligning them with existing penalties for race- and religion-based hate crimes.
The change, part of the Crime and Policing Bill, would allow for higher maximum sentences when such motivations are proven, improving legal consistency and sentencing clarity.
Advocacy groups welcome the move, citing rising hate crime numbers and the need for stronger protections.
The amendment still requires parliamentary approval before becoming law.
