This book draws upon empirical data to offer a fresh and unique
perspective on hate crime victimisation, using transphobic hate crime
as a case study. It adopts the lens of ‘visibility’ as a way of
understanding hate crime victimisation and to challenge dominant
theoretical and conceptual perspectives of hate crime. 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 to particular groups of
people to make them ‘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 overview and
conceptualisation of hate crime victimisation.
