Bringing together international research and perspectives on bias, prejudice and hatred towards transgender communities, this collection explores the ways in which transphobia manifests across different times and spaces, addressing an important contemporary issue and filling the current gap in hate studies literature.
This book comes at a crucial time, in which gender identity has become a divisive political tool, contributing to a social climate in which transgender people have become legitimate targets for suspicion, discrimination and hate. Exploring contemporary debates surrounding transphobic hate crime, the book focuses on understanding transphobic hate crime, examining criminal justice and policy responses, analysing spaces and places where transphobia manifests, and delving into discourse, representation, and construction of transgender identities. Showcasing a diversity of research from across the criminological disciplinary landscape and through research that deploys an innovative array of methodological approaches, this book seeks to contribute to the growing canon of academic research into experiences of transphobic hate crime and provides important insights at a time of unprecedented political, social and direct threats to trans people’s lives.
Presenting research that is both important and innovative, Contemporary Issues in Transphobic Hate and Prejudice will be of great interest to students and scholars working within the disciplines of Criminology, Sociology, Gender Studies, Law, Media Studies and Queer Studies.
