Answered by Kenny MacAskill on 6 Jun 2012 · 19 days after it was lodged, on time

The Scottish Government will publish, before the end of 2012, the results of further analysis into the nature of section 74 incidents reported by the police to the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service in 2011-12. This will include analysis of the religions targeted in the incidents, and commentary on the number of incidents proportionate to the size of religious populations in Scotland.
