Abstract

This report presents the findings from a programme of tailored work with lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGB&T) communities in Leicester and Leicestershire which aimed to encourage greater levels of hate crime reporting. Based on face-to-face qualitative interviews, the report outlines LGB&T people’s experiences and expectations of hate crime reporting, and provides best practice guidance. It showed that verbal abuse, intimidation and harassment on the basis of sexual orientation and/or gender identity were identified as regular experiences within the context of many participants’ everyday lives. Moreover, many people within LGB&T communities are unaware of and unfamiliar with reporting pathways. The report identifies a number of specific solutions for the problems experienced by LGB&T people in Leicestershire.
