Re-imagining Hate Crime (eBook, PDF)

Transphobia, Visibility and Victimisation

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book draws upon empirical data to offer a fresh and unique perspective on hate crime victimisation. In challenging dominant theoretical and conceptual perspectives of hate crime, this book adopts the lens of 'visibility' as a way of understanding hate crime victimisation. In adopting this lens, key aspects of victimisation are explored, including the hierarchical nature of hate crime victimisation, that afford visibility to particular types of victimisation, and particular groups of people as 'legitimate' victims. In challenging these notions, this book highlights the pervasive, everyday nature of much hate crime and introduces the concept of 'micro-crimes' as a way to conceptualise the nature of victimisation that is often overshadowed by discussions around 'microaggressions' and more socially recognisable forms of 'hate crime'. Key ideas relating to space, place and identity performance are drawn upon throughout these analyses and discussions to provide a nuanced, overviewand conceptualisation of hate crime victimisation.
