This book provides a much-needed focus on the victimization
experiences of those within the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender,
Queer, intersex, or asexual (LGBTQIA) communities. With original
research and scholarly work relating to victimization, supplemented by
stories and poems detailing firsthand accounts by people in LGBTQIA
communities, the volume editors shine a light on the experiences of
those who have been harmed or who have suffered because of who they
are. Allowing the reader to gain a deeper understanding of Queer
victimization and LGBTQIA victims, the volume delves into how and why
people are victimized, as well as how the criminal justice system and
other social services interact with victims and each other. The
creative pieces included give a direct voice to those who have most
often been silenced in the past. Queer Victimology is essential
reading for scholars and students in the areas of criminology,
victimology, sociology, gender studies, education, counseling, and/or
psychology as well as anyone engaged with Queer, critical, and
feminist criminologies, gender studies, diversity, and criminal
justice.
