“…Another study found that as much as 27% of anti-LGBT violence occurs outside lesbian or gay bars or establishments (Comstock, 1991). Statistics also indicate that over one-third (36.4%) of hate crimes reported to the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation that occur at bars or nightclubs involve attacks against individuals who are gay or lesbian (McDevitt & Williamson, 2003). These findings demonstrate that LGBT victims are being specifically targeted when they associate with others in LGBT-identified establishments, venues, and locations.…”

The purpose of this article is to bring to the attention of researchers, scholars, and politicians an important point about the harms to LGBT victims resulting from hate crimes—one that, in my view, is ignored and is critical to the justifications for allowing bias crime victims to obtain legal compensation for being victimized on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. More specifically, this article critiques the current framing of anti-LGBT hate crimes in scholarship and empirical research and reconceptualizes these crimes as systemic inhibitors to expressive and associative opportunities on the basis of gender identity and sexual orientation (this argument will be developed in Part IV).

“…One might look, for example, at how violent right-wing activism impacts the lives of Jewish or ethnic-minority people. The literature on victims of violence focuses on how victims of hate crimes suffer trauma as a result of their victimization (Bjørgo 2003;McDevitt and Williamson 2003). Trauma studies have started to explore the short-term and long-term impact of political violence (Galea, Resnick, Ahern, Gold, Bucuvalas, Kilpatrick, Stuber, and Vlahov 2002;Tucker, Pfefferbaum, North, Kent, Burgin, Parker, Hossain, Jeon-Slaughter, and Trautman 2007).…”

Despite the development of the political violence and terrorism literature, which has moved strongly forward in the past decade, scientific works on the consequences of armed groups are still rare. This article encourages cross-fertilization between the sparse studies of the consequences of political violence and the growing body of research on how social movements matter. First, we show the variety of potential outcomes of armed groups' violent repertoires. We then review works on the consequences of social movements and highlight lessons for the study of armed groups. Specifically, we urge scholars to look for the interplay of internal and external factors in studying the impact of armed groups. We call for a comparative focus that dwells less on conditions and more on the processes and mechanisms affecting the impact of political violence. At the same time, we acknowledge that the literature on political violence and terrorism can inform social movement scholarship. In particular, students of social movements should pay more attention to the potential economic consequences of protest activities, the international factors constraining their impact, and the life-course patterns of movements' targets.
