Abstract:

Introduction: The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) population has long been excluded from society. A reality arising from the marginalization still present today. Objective: To describe the quantitative profile of LGBT homicides to bring more concrete information about these crimes. Method: Systematic review, including all types of quantitative studies on LGBT homicides. The bases searched were: Pubmed Central (Medline); Latin American and Caribbean Center on Health Sciences Information (LILACS); Embase, (Elsevier); Scopus (Elsevier), Virtual Health Library (VHL) and PsyNET (American Psychological Association - APA) with selected MESH terms. PROSPERO Protocol: CRD42016053977. Results: Sixteen studies were included. Homicides tend to involve a victim and a perpetrator, which occur at the victim's home or on the public thoroughfares. The victim is generally older than the perpetrator, who is usually unknown to the victim. Transgender people are the most affected LGBT and, in general, are young people under 30 years old. Conclusion: This review confirms that these homicides can be considered “hate crimes” where these individuals, in general, are victimized by firearms, bladed weapons, beaten or asphyxiated to death.
