In the recent analysis of the National Crime Victimization Survey, it was found that the odds of being a violent hate crime victim for LGBTQ+ people was nine times greater than it was for cisgender and straight people from 2017 to 2019.
There were an average annual 6.6 violent hate crime victimizations per 1,000 LGBTQ+ people during this three year period.
In contrast, there were 0.6 violent hate crime victimizations per 1,000 cisgender and straight people.
Since 2017, the National Crime Victimization Survey has been documenting sexual orientation and gender identity of respondents. This has allowed us to estimate the rate of hate crimes against LGBTQ+ people for the first time.
Another notable finding from the study suggested that violent hate crimes involving LGBTQ+ victims have unique characteristics.
Prior research has suggested that LGBTQ+ victims of hate crime frequently did not know the offender. In the new analyses, 49% of violent hate crimes with LGBTQ+ victims involved an attacker who was a close friend, family member, partner or former partner.
It was also found that LGBTQ+ victims of violent hate crimes were more likely to have physical and psychological symptoms as a result of the attack when compared with LGBTQ+ victims of violent crimes that were not hate crimes.
