In March 2023 The Lesbian Project was launched. I had the honour of being one of the speakers for their inaugural event: Putting Lesbians Back in Focus. I used the occasion to find out what we know about lesbians and criminal justice. In the blog below, I write up that presentation.
It’s appears that an in-depth study as you discuss is massively long over due …could you also include not just Lesbians within mainstream justice system but the forensic psychiatric arena where women are not only overlaid with egregious offending profiles but damning diagnosis such as personality disorder .. which condemns women to longer incarceration and heavy labelling. There are Lesbians impacted by these injustices.

Quite right and as often or not bundled into the LGBT soup (if not even more meaningless letters!).
