Throughout the history of the United States, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) individuals have faced widespread pathologization, victimization, and criminalization. Reports of lynching, burning, or murdering LGBTQ people have been documented for centuries, reflecting a long history of discrimination and violence against these communities. Prior to the 1970s, LGBTQ individuals were often deemed as having psychological disorders and subjected to electroshock therapy and other ineffective and cruel treatments. These individuals were also frequently arrested or imprisoned for crimes such as sodomy, cross-dressing, and gathering in public spaces.
While significant strides have been made in advocating for LGBTQ rights in contemporary times, the criminal justice system continues to work against LGBTQ individuals and their lives, liberties, and freedoms. Queering Law and Order: LGBTQ Communities and the Criminal Justice System explores the state of LGBTQ people within the criminal justice system. Drawing from legal cases, academic research, and popular media, author Nadal examines a wide range of issues, including historical heterosexist and transphobic legislation, police brutality, the prison industrial complex, and family law.
The book is grounded in Queer Theory and intersectional lenses, providing recommendations for queering and disrupting the justice system. Each chapter offers insights into the experiences of LGBTQ individuals and provides practical strategies for advocating for change. Queering Law and Order serves as both an academic resource and a call to action for readers interested in promoting LGBTQ rights and justice.
In conclusion, the criminal justice system has a long and complex history of discrimination and violence against LGBTQ individuals. While progress has been made, there is still much work to be done to ensure that LGBTQ people are treated with dignity, respect, and equality. Books like Queering Law and Order play a crucial role in raising awareness about these issues and providing recommendations for change. By advocating for LGBTQ rights and justice, we can work towards creating a more inclusive and equitable society for all.
