About This Research
My name is Peter Dunn and I am a PhD student at London School of Economics. I am researching the effects of homophobic incidents and homophobic crime on gay men (or men who have sex with men but who don’t necessarily identify as gay).
I have created this web site to:
- Provide information about this research and how it will make a difference
- Offer the opportunity to contribute to the research by completing a short, anonymous on-line survey about homophobia and what you think about reporting a homophobic incident or crime to the police
- Find men who have experienced victimisation who would be willing to participate in this research project
- Signpost people who have been affected by homophobic crime on to sources of support or places where they can report what has happened to them
Why men only? – because the impact of homophobic victimisation for men and for women might be different, and there is other similar research taking place elsewhere about women’s experience of homophobia. There is very little qualitative research evidence about men’s experiences of violence and harassment.
