For many disabled people, violence can become an unwanted, yet ordinary part of everyday life. Often, these crimes are attributed to understandings of disabled people as vulnerable and largely, passive victims. Attending to the aims of this special issue, this paper aims to dismantle these stereotypes and attend to the unique ways that disabled people can resist and respond to hate crime through creative and collaborative research practices. Building upon this, I argue that there is a pressing need for hate studies researchers to work "with" and not "on" those who have experienced targeted violence. Working in this way builds upon long-standing efforts of disabled activists and disabilities studies researchers to challenge reductive research practices by working in more collective and inclusive ways. To demonstrate this, I reflect upon a project working in partnership with disabled people to create a disability hate crime toolkit. The toolkit, now published, shares accessible and informative resources that can be used to raise awareness about disability hate crime. While the focus of this paper is disability, I consider methods of collaboration, co-production and participation that can be drawn upon by researchers to respond to hate crime and interpersonal violence more broadly.
对于许多残疾人来说，暴力可能成为日常生活中不想要但又很常见的一部分。这些犯罪通常归因于对残疾人的脆弱性和基本被动性受害者的理解。本论文旨在通过创造性和协作性的研究实践，打破这些刻板印象，关注残疾人通过创意和协作研究实践来抵制和应对仇恨犯罪的独特方式。在此基础上，我认为仇恨研究人员迫切需要与那些经历过有针对性暴力的人“合作”，而不是“针对”他们。以这种方式工作是建立在残疾活动家和残疾研究人员的长期努力基础上的，他们通过更具集体性和包容性的方式来挑战简化的研究实践。为了说明这一点，我反思了一个与残疾人合作创建残疾仇恨犯罪工具包的项目。该工具包现已出版，分享了可用于提高对残疾仇恨犯罪认识的无障碍和信息丰富的资源。虽然本文的重点是残疾问题，但我考虑了可以被研究人员用来更广泛地应对仇恨犯罪和人际暴力的合作、共同生产和参与方法。
