关于犯罪受害经历的问卷调查数据收集自2,259名萨克拉门托地区的女同性恋者、男同性恋者和双性恋者（N = 1,170名女性，1,089名男性）。大约五分之一的女性和四分之一的男性因成年性取向而遭受过受害。仇恨犯罪比非偏见犯罪更不可能向警方报案。与其他近期犯罪受害者相比，女同性恋和男同性恋仇恨犯罪幸存者表现出更多的抑郁、愤怒、焦虑和创伤后应激症状，他们还表现出更多的与犯罪相关的恐惧和信念，较低的掌控感，以及更多的归因于他们的个人挫折性偏见。在双性恋者中没有观察到类似的差异。研究结果强调了在临床环境和公共政策中承认仇恨犯罪幸存者特殊需求的重要性。
Questionnaire data about criminal victimization experiences were collected from 2,259 Sacramento-area lesbians, gay men, and bisexuals (N = 1,170 women, 1,089 men). Approximately 1/5 of the women and 1/4 of the men had experienced victimization because of their adult sexual orientation. Hate crimes were less likely than nonbias crimes to have been reported to police. Compared with other recent crime victims, lesbian and gay hate-crime survivors manifested significantly more symptoms of depression, anger, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress,They also displayed significantly more crime-related fears and beliefs, lower sense of mastery, and more attributions of their personal setbacks to sexual prejudice than did nonbias crime victims and nonvictims. Comparable differences were not observed among bisexuals. The findings highlight the importance of recognizing hate-crime survivors' special needs in clinical settings and in public policy.
