Motivated by intersectionality theory and building on existing research, CSDE External Affiliate Callie Burt (Georgia State University) and Caitlin Dorsch used data from the National Crime Victimization Survey to examine heterogeneity in violent victimization rates among LGBT subgroups compared to non-LGBT counterparts. Rates of violent victimization are highest for bisexual individuals, followed by transgender, lesbian/gay, and non-LGBT individuals. Sociodemographic differences explain between 15% and 41% of disparities depending on subgroup, leaving the bulk unexplained. Burt and Dorsch also make a methodological contribution by identifying current limitations in how sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity are measured in large population surveys and suggest revisions for more precise and inclusive measurement
