Despite increased attention in the area of hate crime research in the past 20 years, sexual orientation bias crimes have rarely been singled out for study. When these types of crimes are looked at, the studies are typically descriptive in nature. This article seeks to increase our knowledge of sexual orientation bias by answering the question: What are the differences between sexual orientation motivated bias crimes and racial bias crimes? This question is examined using data from the National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) and multiple regression techniques. This analysis draws on the strengths of NIBRS to look at the incident characteristics of hate crimes and distinguishing characteristics of sexual orientation crimes. Specifically this analysis looks at the types and seriousness of offenses motivated by sexual orientation bias as opposed to race bias as well as victim and offender characteristics. The findings suggest that there are differences between these two types of bias crimes, suggesting a need for further separation of the bias types in policy and research.
尽管在过去的 20 年中，仇恨犯罪研究领域受到了越来越多的关注，但性取向偏见犯罪很少被单独挑出来进行研究。当研究这些类型的犯罪时，研究通常具有描述性。本文旨在通过回答以下问题来增加我们对性取向偏见的了解：性取向动机偏见犯罪与种族偏见犯罪有何区别？使用国家事件基础报告系统 (NIBRS) 和多元回归技术回答了这个问题。该分析利用 NIBRS 的优势来研究仇恨犯罪的事件特征和性取向犯罪的区别特征。具体来说，该分析研究了由性取向偏见而非种族偏见引发的犯罪的类型和严重程度，以及受害者和罪犯的特征。研究结果表明，这两种偏见犯罪之间存在差异，这表明在政策和研究中需要进一步区分偏见类型。
