Abstract

Hate crimes committed against trans people constitute a problem that has been neglected by the academic world for many years. However, the nature and intensity of this type of victimization, along with the increase in transphobic hate crimes, highlight the need to focus analysis on the specificities of this group. This study aims to understand the response provided by institutions to these types of crimes in Catalonia, based on the experiences of experts who have contact with trans victims. To achieve this, semi-structured interviews were conducted with three professionals from victim support services (both public and third sector) and one police representative. The main results indicate, on the one hand, the existence of a network of resources working together to address the needs of the victims. On the other hand, the importance of training the involved actors (still inadequate) has been confirmed, as well as the incorporation of an intersectional approach. Finally, the need for more research is highlighted in order to adequately combat the problem.
