Abstract

In the United States (US), transgender individuals are more likely to experience violence and sexual assault in jails and prisons compared with cisgender peers. Harms of incarceration on transgender individuals include limited access to medical care and hormone therapy, as well as being housed in facilities based on biological sex instead of gender identity. However, there has been insufficient research on addressing factors that lead to transgender individuals being incarcerated in the first place. In this article, we argue the need to focus on law enforcement interactions with transgender individuals in the US to reduce incarceration-related harms. Using the perspectives of primordial prevention and focusing on upstream factors that create health-related harms, we assert that focusing on law enforcement is a necessary component in addressing how the criminal justice system harms transgender individuals.

作为危害来源的跨性别监禁和执法:上游和原始预防观点。
在美国,跨性别者比异性恋者更容易在监狱和监狱中遭受暴力和性侵犯。监禁对跨性别者的危害包括获得医疗保健和激素治疗的机会有限,以及根据生理性别而不是性别认同被关押在设施中。然而,关于解决导致跨性别者被监禁的首要因素的研究还不够。在本文中,我们认为有必要关注美国执法部门与跨性别者的互动,以减少与监禁相关的伤害。从原始预防的角度出发,关注与健康相关的上游因素,我们认为关注执法是解决刑事司法系统如何伤害跨性别者的必要组成部分。
