"England and Wales have around 11 times the population of Scotland so, pro rata, you’d expected disability hate crime in the former to be at around 11 times 289 or 3 179 but, based on these figures it’s twice as common. This is not, of course, a precisely, like-for-like statistical comparison here, but given that other forms of hate crime are lower in Scotland, perhaps this has at least something in it?"
