The University of Sussex are attempting to understand how hate crimes and hate incidents against Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Trans (LGBT) individuals have an impact on other LGBT people.
To do so, they are asking participants to complete an anonymous survey which asks them for their knowledge of and reactions to hate crimes and hate incidents against LGBT people.
The survey should take no longer than 30 minutes to complete.
Your participation will help them to understand the widespread effects of hate crimes and hate incidents which will enable them to work with LGBT associations and organisations, together with the Police and Criminal Justice System, to implement initiatives that will help victims of hate crimes and hate incidents, and LGBT communities in general.
You will also be given contact details and links to organisations that can help you recognise and report a hate crime and provide support if you, or someone you know, is a victim of a hate crime or incident.
In return for your participation you – or a charity of your choosing – will be entered into a prize draw for a top prize of £100.All information collected will be kept strictly confidential. Survey respondents will remain completely anonymous.You can withdraw from the study at any point without any explanation. As the study is anonymous, however, it will be difficult to withdraw your responses once you have finished the survey and submitted your answers.The research group is from the University of Sussex and includes Professor Rupert Brown (Psychology), Dr Mark Walters (Law), and Dr Jenny Paterson (Psychology).
The research is funded by the Leverhulme Trust and has received ethical approval from the University of Sussex Sciences & Technology Cross-Schools Research Ethics Committee (c-recpsysci@sussex.ac.uk).
