“…Given that much of the referendum focused on questions of immigration and national identity (Menon, 2018;Burnett, 2017;Virdee and McGeever, 2018), it is possible that the eventual outcome of the referendum legitimated or validated these underlying prejudices enough to lead to public expressions of this prejudice in the form of hate crime. This is the argument similarly adopted by Rushin and Edwards (2018) in studying the election of Donald Trump. Such a dynamic is well acknowledged in political science, such as in the literature on the ability of the media to drive support for anti-immigrant or far-right parties (Walgrave and Swert, 2004;Boomgaarden and Vliegenthart, 2009;Vliegenthart and Boomgaarden, 2010).…”

“…Finally, and highly related to the topic addressed here, some work addresses the effect of elections on hate crimes. Rushin and Edwards (2018) study how the election of President Trump caused an increase in hate crime using time series data on reported hate crimes, and use panel data to show that in areas where Trump won by a larger margin, hate crimes increased more; recent research has also shown how Trump's election created a “racist contagion”across the world (Giani and Méon, 2019). King and Brustein (2006) also show how the success of leftist parties in pre‐World War Two Germany led to increased occurrences of anti‐Semitic hate crimes.…”

Objective The article contributes to the literature on discrete events and behavioral change among the public by studying the link between the United Kingdom's 2016 “Brexit”referendum and racial and religious hate crime. Methods Time series intervention models on daily and monthly hate crime numbers from the UK Home Office and police forces, controlling for other events such as terror attacks. A range of robustness tests including additional vector auto‐regression. Results The Brexit referendum led to a 19–23 percent increase in hate crimes, but did not lead to a longer‐term increase. The results are robust to a range of alternative specifications, and there is no evidence of a relationship between media coverage of hate crime or immigration salience and hate crimes. The results also show the consistent, large effect of terror attacks on increasing the number of hate crimes. Conclusion The Brexit referendum caused an increase in hate crimes on par with terror attacks. Discrete political events, like referendums and elections, can play a sizeable role in prejudicial behavioral change.

“…Research suggests that community-level prejudice and xenophobia also increased mortality among immigrant groups (154). Most studies have focused on hate crimes (155)(156)(157)(158), especially among transgender and gender-nonconforming individuals (159)(160)(161), or police violence and Black Lives Matter before and after the 2016 election (162)(163)(164)(165). Seminal studies are now reporting that anti-immigrant policies and sociopolitical stressors are impacting maternal health.…”

Testing is the entry point into the HIV care continuum that includes linkage to and retention in prevention services, and adherence to prevention strategies, including repeat HIV testing. Despite US policy approaches to expand HIV testing to diverse clinical care and community settings, disparities in HIV testing among Black populations persist. Foreign-born (FB) Black persons from the Caribbean have higher annual rates of HIV diagnosis and a higher percentage of late-stage HIV diagnosis, compared with US-born Black persons; and most HIV infections among FB Blacks are among men. In this article, we provide an overview of HIV testing barriers among FB Black men who engage in HIV risk-taking behaviors (e.g., condomless sex with male and/or female partners of unknown HIV serostatus). Barriers to HIV testing for both FB and US-born Black men, include HIV stigma (anticipated, perceived, internalized), low perceived HIV risk, medical or government mistrust, and perceived low access to testing resources. We examine beliefs about masculinity and gender roles that may perpetuate heteronormative stereotypes associated with perceptions of low HIV risk and barriers to HIV testing. We also discuss the impact of recent immigration policies on accessing HIV testing and treatment services and how intersectional stigmas and structural forms of oppression, such as racism, prejudice against select immigrant groups, and homophobia that may further amplify barriers to HIV testing among FB Black men. Finally, we review comprehensive prevention approaches, and suggest innovative approaches, that may improve the uptake of HIV testing among FB Black men.

“…This seems to be part of a larger effort to mischaracterize the nature and undermine the validity of important work in key areas of critique (Mirrlees, 2018). It is tempting to be dismissive towards these anti-intellectual forces, but their growing influence can be linked to a rise in hate crimes against marginalized groups and increasing electoral successes by divisive populist figures (Edwards and Rushin, 2018).…”

What is changing? This: the contradictions and predations of patriarchal imperialist capitalism, and of the deeply racist and gendered material and symbolic order it produces, have enabled an accelerating, unrelenting, unfettered extractive stance toward the planet, its ecosystems and natural resources, and the plant and animal species and human beings that inhabit it. That stance has not only resulted in increasingly outrageous inequalities and concentrations of wealth; it has gotten us to the brink of climate catastrophe, ecosystem collapse, and a vast, literally unimaginable intensification and expansion of human immiseration and suffering. So what is changing in security (if not in security studies, critical or otherwise) is everything-from the entire context of stable planetary ecosystems that gave rise to the way our world is politically, economically and socially structured, to our understandings of those structures, and to our models and theories of what constitutes security within them, be it state security or human security. We can no longer claim to be thinking about security unless we address the model that conceives the purpose of economic activity as ever-increasing 'efficiencies' of extraction, exploitation and consumption of nature's resources, and of human labour, both paid and unpaid, for the purpose of profit-rather than, for example, conceiving the purpose of economic activity as meeting human needs for a decent and dignified life, and ensuring the sustainability of the resources and ecosystems on which life depends. Consider just these few snapshots of what that model has produced: How is it possible to talk about 'security' while ignoring them/without centring them? 862912S DI0010.1177/0967010619862912Security DialogueSalter (ed.) et al.
