Tackling Hate Crime: Homophobic Hate Crime (PDF; 144 KB)
Source: Home Office (UK)
“This guide is primarily concerned with homophobia that is expressed through homophobic incidents and crimes. The guide refers to the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transsexual (LGBT) community and people. We understand that issues for the Transgender community are not strictly about sexuality, although they might be. Rather perpetrators will often not distinguish between the different communities and the modus operandi and impact will be broadly similar. There may be differing victim needs. Similarly this guide recognises that members of LGBT communities are not homogenous. Whilst tackling homophobic hate crime, preventative measures should also tackle homophobia itself.”
