Well, first, yes, absolutely.
Second, I would recommend that you get rid of it all together. That's because what you are now doing, even if you limit it to criminal offences, is setting up two tiers of violent offences.
Let's compare two things. Let's say somebody assaults two different people. In the first case, they just choose someone randomly on the street, or they pick somebody they know. In the second case, they pick somebody because of their identity. In both cases, they do exactly the same thing. They beat them up. Both of those things are wrong. They are both offences. They are both equal because the amount of violence is equal. What we're doing now is saying that one of those is more serious than the other one.
No. They are both serious. They are both violent. They are both wrong.
