Violence and Social Injustice Against Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual People by Lacey M. Sloan; Nora Gustavsson

Compelling and informative, Violence and Social Injustice Against Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual People looks beyond physical violence against sexual minorities and examines the many daily acts of quiet violence that go on, unhindered, in the workaday settings of our legal, social, educational, and law enforcement institutions. Readers will learn about the passive attitudes, homophobic ignorance, and denial that pervade our police departments, courts, high schools, and churches. This informative book discusses legal issues relating to same-sex marriage, the connection between social injustice and violence, violence against sexual minority youth, sexual identity and ethnic minorities, and practice and policy recommendations.
