Synchronicity. I am currently working on an article analysing the "Non Crime Hate Incident" data for Avon & Somerset Police. Should be published later this week.

I have also got a "Hate Crime" vs "Non Crime Hate Incident" on my todo list.

Avon & Somerset have just started publishing this data.

Mind numbing! I'll let you crack on, Chris, and then compose something from whatever you publish by way of comment.

Well, I think I may have found my way through this bloody numerical minefield after all. I'm sure you'll let me know your take on it.

I have been blocked by "FixMyStreet", so I am having to come up with a new method for getting their data. That will probably use up my "free time" this week.

Damn! Okay. Well, I'm confident you'll find a way through.

Good job. I will still build my reporting solution for the data as it will then update semi-automatically when they add new data. Avon and Somerset police seem to have quite a good "open data" team, but they keep publishing data in PDF's to make it difficult to analyse, but I am working on that problem.

Excellent! I was trying not to steal your thunder, given the fact that you were generous enough to provide the link in the first place.
