Getting the Legal Solutions You Need
Many people do not realize that the LGBTQIA+ community is heavily overrepresented in the criminal justice system. From juvenile courts to adult jails and prisons, individuals identifying as LGBTQIA+ are convicted and confined at higher rates than straight people.
According to the Prison Policy Initiative, the overrepresentation of the LGBTQIA+ is at every stage of the system. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people are “arrested, incarcerated, and subjected to community supervision” at substantially higher rates. In the juvenile justice system, the rates are astounding. As many as 20% of youth in the juvenile justice system are LGBTQIA+.
Understanding Your Rights
The unequal treatment of members of the LGBTQIA+ community in the criminal justice system makes it imperative for people to find quality legal representation. A criminal defense attorney can help defend your rights and help prevent bias in the courtroom.
Too often, LGBTQIA+ people are discriminated against. They are arrested because of an alleged crime that they either didn’t commit or were only doing in response to harassment or assault. Once behind bars, studies show that they are grossly mistreated, placed in unsafe environments, and subjected to cruelty. More must be done to protect the LGBTQIA+ population and prevent this mistreatment.
