To estimate the prevalence of personal and household victimizations among transgender people in the United States. We analyzed pooled 2017 and 2018 data from the National Crime Victimization Survey, the first nationally representative sample that allows identification of transgender respondents. Transgender people experienced 86.2 victimizations per 1000 persons compared with cisgender people's 21.7 per 1000 persons (odds ratio [OR] = 4.24; 90% confidence interval [CI] = 1.49, 7.00). Households that had a transgender person had higher rates of property victimization (214.1 per 1000 households) than households with only cisgender people (108 per 1000 households; OR = 2.25; 90% CI = 1.19, 3.31). Transgender victims whose sex assigned at birth was male were more likely to perceive their victimization as a hate crime than cisgender victims whose sex assigned at birth was male. There were no disparities in reporting victimizations to authorities: only about half of the victimizations of both transgender and cisgender people were reported. Public policy and administration need to consider the unique vulnerabilities transgender people routinely encounter, resulting in disparities in criminal victimization.
为了估计美国跨性别者个人和家庭受害的普遍性。我们分析了 2017 年和 2018 年全国犯罪受害调查的综合数据，这是第一个允许识别跨性别受访者的全国代表性样本。与 cisgender 人每 1000 人 21.7 次的受害率相比，跨性别者每 1000 人经历了 86.2 次受害（优势比 [OR] ⁇ 4.24；90%置信区间 [CI] ⁇ 1.49，7.00）。有跨性别者的家庭遭受财产侵害的比率更高（每 1000 户家庭 214.1 次），而只有 cisgender 人家庭的比率为每 1000 户家庭 108 次（OR ⁇ 2.25；90% CI ⁇ 1.19，3.31）。出生时被指定为男性的跨性别受害者比出生时被指定为男性的 cisgender 受害者更有可能将他们的受害视为仇恨犯罪。向当局报告受害情况没有差异：只有大约一半的跨性别者和 cisgender 者的受害情况得到了报告。公共政策和行政管理需要考虑跨性别者经常遇到的独特脆弱性，这导致了刑事受害的差异。
