International surveys of victims show crime rates in England and Wales, including hate crimes, are among the highest in Europe. Nevertheless, sexual minority status is a less considered risk factor in general victimization research. This study used sexual minority status and sex to predict victimization across British Crime Surveys from 2007-2010. Logistic regression analyses showed sexual minority status groups were more likely than heterosexuals to be victimized from any and some specific crimes. However, bisexuals rather than lesbians or gay men were more consistently victimized, notably by sexual attacks and within the household. Implications for understanding victimization among these groups are discussed.
对受害者的国际调查显示，英格兰和威尔士的犯罪率，包括仇恨犯罪率，在欧洲处于最高水平。然而，在一般的受害情况研究中，性少数群体身份是一个较少被考虑的风险因素。本研究利用性少数群体身份和性别来预测2007年至2010年英国犯罪调查中的受害情况。逻辑回归分析表明，性少数群体身份群体比异性恋者更容易受到任何犯罪和某些特定犯罪的侵害。然而，双性恋者比女同性恋者或男同性恋者更容易持续成为受害者，尤其是遭受性攻击和家庭内部的侵害。本文讨论了对理解这些群体受害情况的启示。
