During an investigation into hate crime, BBC Three has found that some children under the age of seven have been reported to the police for homophobic and transgender hate crimes since 2014.

THE findings, published in an article on the BBC News website, also revealed that there has been a 150 per cent increase in recorded transgender hate crimes over the past four years, with recorded homophobic hate crime also having risen by 66 per cent in the same period.

Key findings from the research are:

On the number of crimes

♦ Since 2014, the number of recorded transgender hate crimes has risen by 150 percent, recorded homophobic hate crime has risen 66 per cent, and both together have risen by 72 per cent

There has been a 10 per cent drop in the proportion of homophobic hate crimes resulting in a charge, from almost one in four (23 per cent) in 2014 to just one in eight (13 per cent) in 2017
The highest rate of recorded homophobic hate crimes were in Merseyside, followed by West Yorkshire, Gwent, South Wales and Leicestershire. However as the data only accounts for recorded crimes, this could be due to better reporting in these areas.

On perpetrators of crimes

♦ Among those reported to the police for homophobic or transgender hate crimes since 2014 were 70 children under 13, including several under the age of seven.

♦ People in their 20s are the most likely to be accused of a homophobic hate crimes, while suspects in transgender hate crimes tend to be teenagers or even younger

On victims of crimes

♦ The age group most likely to report being a victim of homophobic or transgender hate crime are those aged 20-29

Mesobiolift collagen skin tightening treatment for sagging and crepey skin.

MATCH Skin Salon in Hove have been using Mesobiolift for three years achieving amazing results for facials and body treatments.

How does the treatment work?
During the course of the treatment, various phases of Radio frequency waves and current penetrate all layers of the skin – breaking down scar tissue, tightening the skin and creating new collagen. Your skin will look and feel radiant after just one treatment, especially the following day as all the cells have had time to settle, allowing the skin to feel toned and plump.

What does the treatment involve?
A relaxing warm radio frequency treatment; where a special serum of plant collagen is infused into your skin, making it feel soft and hydrated for days. The facial normally last 45 minutes, and is followed by a relaxing lymphatic drainage facial massage and cooling mask. The body treatments vary from 10/20 minutes per area.

How many sessions will I need?
That depends on how much of the skin has lost it’s collagen and to what degree as we all deplete collagen production in our 30’s. It also depends on your expectations; Mesobiolift can even treat loose skin on isolated areas. On average a course of at least six facials for your body and eight for your face is recommended.

How often do I need treatments?
For best results one or two weekly sessions are recommended.

Are the results permanent?
The results will remain the same if you have a monthly top-up treatment for the face, however on some parts of the body you many only need to just have a treatment once every six weeks.
