摘要
Most victims of hate crime that are targeted because of their sexual orientation never report to the police because of their fear of police hostility, abuse and possible disclosure of their sexual orientation. This is strongly supported by the enormous discrepancy between the number of antigay/lesbian crimes reported to the police in the CS FB&H for the period of 2013-2017 and number of those reported to the NGOs in the same period. This paper investigates presence of sexual prejudice among police officers and possibility of its conversion into negative behaviour toward gay men and lesbians. The research is conducted among police officers of Ministry of Internal Affairs of the CS through 300 surveys. The sexual prejudice and its conversion into negative behaviour are questioned through ATG/ATL scale, stereotypes, group position and behaviour. Paper concludes with an outline of implications of sexual prejudice within the law enforcement forces.
