Reports of lynching, burning, or murdering of LGBTQ people has been documented for centuries Prior to the 1970s, LGBTQ people were deemed as having psychological disorders and subsequently subject to electroshock therapy and other ineffective and cruel treatments. LGBTQ people have historically been arrested or imprisoned for crimes like sodomy, cross-dressing, and gathering in public spaces. And while there have been many strides to advocate for LGBTQ rights in contemporary times, there are still many ways that the criminal justice system works against LGBTQ and their lives, liberties, and freedoms. Queering Law and Order: LGBTQ Communities and Fight for Justice examines the state of LGBTQ people within the criminal justice system. Intertwining legal cases, academic research, and popular media, the author reviews a wide range of issues - ranging from historical heterosexist and transphobic legislation to police brutality to the prison industrial complex to family law. Grounded in Queer Theory and intersectional lenses, each chapter provides recommendations for queering and disrupting the justice system. The book serves as both an academic resource and a call to action for readers who are interested in advocating for LGBTQ rights."--Publisher's description. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 215-241) and index. 505 0 $a A history of LGBTQ people and the law -- Finding our pulse : LGBTQ experiences with hate and historical trauma -- Neither protected, nor served : LGBTQ people and law enforcement -- Gender and sexuality on trial : LGBTQ people and the courts -- Locked up in a binary : LGBTQ people and incarceration -- The workplace closet : LGBTQ people and employment law -- Queer and TransParent : LGBTQ people, family court, and the child welfare system -- Over the rainbow and across the border : LGBTQ people and immigration -- The queer criminal mind : LGBTQ people and forensic psychology. 650 0 $a Sexual minorities $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z United States. 650 0 $a Sexual minorities $x Civil rights $z United States. 650 0 $a Sex discrimination in criminal justice administration $z United States. 650 7 $a Sex discrimination in criminal justice administration $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01114396 650 7 $a Sexual minorities $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01983693 651 7 $a United States $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 941 $a 2 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214015217.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526013921.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=336E93B686E611EB80D4A9DB35ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
