Arcigay REPORT of the main incidents of homophobic violence and transofoba occurred in Italy in 2010
How known, in Italy there is no law that recognizes specific aggravating circumstance for crimes committed out of hatred for homosexuals, bisexuals and transgender people.
It is therefore impossible to have a reliable statistical or obtain official information from law enforcement on crimes of homophobic character, simply because there is no specific offenses.
Therefore it is extremely difficult at the time of the complaint, the victim of homophobic violence of the act declaring the array suffered, either because it does not constitute an aggravating circumstance, and by virtue of a strong internalized homophobia, widespread in our country, which leads to a real self-censorship.
The same self-censorship means that many cases of homophobic violence reported by local networks of associations of protection remain, or by decision of the victims or for a good sensitivity with respect to them, in an area of \u200b\u200bextreme confidence that makes them public and not detectable .
The lack of a real perception of protection internalized homophobia determine that the vast majority of cases of homophobic violence are not even reported.
The data contained in the report therefore have no real statistical value, are just a snapshot of reality, recognized only by reports in the media.
