The Impact of Police ‘Process-Driven Responses’ on Supporting Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and/or Transgender + Victim-Survivors of Domestic Abuse in England

Conclusions‘Treating everyone the same’ can leave experiences of LGB and/or T + victim-survivors invisible, minimised and not understood.

Suggestions for policy and practice will follow.
