Abstract
This chapter charts the key issues influencing how policing is experienced by transgender people. A growing body of research in this area has begun to elaborate the very challenging and violent experiences that transgender people have with criminal processing systems worldwide and the immense inequities they face in these systems, regardless of whether they are victims, offenders, or witnesses. The chapter therefore overviews the key concerns impacting police interactions with transgender people, including issues such as being profiled as sex workers as an entry point to police experiences, violence experienced from police, and inappropriate searches, custody issues, and misgendering by police officers when they are being processed.
