Sussex Hate Crime Project: The indirect effects of anti-LGBT hate crimes

Sussex Hate Crime Project: The indirect effects of anti-LGBT hate crimes The Project aims to increase understanding and awareness of how hate crimes against LGBT individuals impact on other people, communities, and society.

Hate crimes are a particular concern to the coherence of Britain’s multicultural society. These crimes not only threaten the personal safety and security for those directly victimised, these crimes are also likely to indirectly impact on other individuals in the victim’s identity group by increasing feelings of fear, anger, and isolation throughout the group. To fully understand these indirect eff

ects of hate crimes, the Project will undertake a large scale survey and conduct insightful interviews with people who identify as LGBT. The results from these studies will be used to increase awareness of what hate crimes are, how individuals can report them and seek support if they, or someone they know, is a victim of a hate crime. In addition, the project will work with individuals, organisations, and the Criminal Justice System to develop and improve initiatives designed to combat hate crimes and will endeavour to stimulate further academic discussion and research of hate crimes against LGBT people.
