HATE crime prosecutions are to be fast-tracked following a spate of recent antisemitic incidents, the head of the Crown Prosecution Service has said reports the BBC.
Director of public prosecutions Stephen Parkinson has told prosecutors in England and Wales to bring charges more quickly, in order to clamp down on “daily incidents affecting the Jewish community, involving threats and abuse designed to cause fear and distress”.
He told BBC News it “is important law enforcement steps up and recognises we are in a period of crisis for the Jewish community”.
