Beschreibung
Criminalization Impact Zones explores the profound and often-overlooked consequences of anti-LGBTQ laws on both individuals and society. The book argues that the state-sanctioned homophobia in many nations leads to significant data integrity issues, creating "criminalization impact zones" where LGBTQ individuals are statistically erased due to fear of persecution. This statistical erasure hinders the development of effective public health initiatives, social support systems, and legal protections. The book progresses by first outlining the historical and social context of anti-LGBTQ laws, then examining their impact on community structures and individual well-being. A key insight is how these laws, often rooted in colonial legacies and religious fundamentalism, undermine the accuracy and reliability of population data. The book uniquely emphasizes the data collection challenges inherent in studying marginalized populations under repressive regimes, advocating for innovative strategies to ensure ethical and accurate data gathering, such as community-based research. Through a mixed-methods approach combining statistical analysis with ethnographic insights, the book connects to human rights law, public health, and sociology. It provides a nuanced understanding of how social stigma and discrimination shape LGBTQ identities and community structures, offering valuable information for policymakers, researchers, and human rights advocates alike.
