.lSexual Orientation and Experiences with Police Contact in Canada

CONCLUSIONS: The current study provides the first analysis of the relationship between sexual minority identity and experiences with adverse police contact in Canada, revealing higher levels of police contact and police contact with harassment, especially among bisexual and queer, questioning, other individuals. Findings suggest that sexual minority persons in Canada experience potentially harmful police contact at elevated rates, which may have significant ramifications for health and traumatic stress responses.PMID:38070693 | DOI:10.1016/j.annepidem.2023.12.002
