## Resource

Religious hate crimes are surging across the UK, with anti-Muslim incidents up 240% and anti-Jewish crimes rising 163% in just three years — making it the fastest-growing hate crime category nationally. Victims describe living in fear, from public harassment like hijab-pulling to threats against children, revealing a deep societal weariness. Despite police pledges to act decisively, only 44% of such crimes are reported — suggesting the real crisis is far worse. Experts and community groups demand urgent, systemic action: more policing, faster prosecutions, and stronger sentences to confront this escalating tide of religious hostility.
