Thread title is from this article:
Homophobic and transphobic hate crimes surge in England and Wales
https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...land-and-wales
The article gives the sources and seems to be accurate in how they describe the issue.
I'm curious if anyone has any idea why? Is it merely that homosexuals are now willing to make complaints in much higher numbers these days compared to the past?
I'm wondering if it is part and parcel of the usual trends we have in times of decreased prosperity? (The almost 10 years of "austerity.") Which seems to always correlate with crime increasing and those outside the mainstream always seem to be handy targets for general unpleasantness during such times.
Or is it because younger homosexuals haven't grown up with "no PDA" as a defence and therefore there are more "visible" homosexuals to become targets?
Opinions, views etc?
