No, it was years ago and I don't have the books anymore. As I explained earlier, there was no internet when I took my degree.

I don't know as i've not compared attacks based on race as opposed to disability, but I don't see the relevance. If it is wrong to incite racial hatred, it is wrong to incite hatred towards other minority groups regardless.

An interesting question. The statistics came from Channel 5; so they would be the best people to contact for an answer.
