This book examines the experiences of disabled people using public transport to reveal the everyday abuse that they can experience and the resilience needed to conduct an ordinary life. This work represents an intertwining of personal journeys, with its author having been a child psychologically damaged by disability hate crime (DHC) to being one of the few researchers of disability hate crime. DHC is an under-researched area and the findings in this book speak beyond the public transport context. This book draws on a sample of 56 victim-participants and includes data drawn from public transport regulators, service operators and staff in the UK. It argues that established legislation needs to be recognized and used by regulatory authorities and local authorities to impart equality objectives on public transport providers. Each chapter is clearly structured, accessibly written and includes key definitions to speak to practitioners and academics with an interest in victimology, policing, social policy, gender studies, disability studies, migration studies, equality studies and religious studies. This book also examines how effectively authorities and service providers safeguard disabled people on UK public transport and reveals adaptive approaches to researching with disabled people. weiterlesen
