Policing Progress: Findings from a National Survey of LGBTQ+ People’s Experiences with Law Enforcement

Policing Progress: Findings from a National Survey of LGBTQ+ People’s Experiences, an ACLU research report, documents LGBTQ+ communities’ experiences with police and the disparate treatment they face. In collaboration with scholars from University of California, Irvine and University of the Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, this research uses a national probability sample to examine differences between LGBTQ+ and non-LGBTQ+ people, as well as within the diverse LGBTQ+ community. Findings reveal that unique intersections of gender, sexuality, race, and socioeconomic status are associated with different experiences with and attitudes toward law enforcement. The report concludes with concrete recommendations for law enforcement and legislatures.
