“…Obecně se lidé s postižením potýkají se zpochybňováním subjektivity a snižováním hodnoty svých životů; bývají vnímáni jako méněcenní či jako přítěž, resp. jako lidé, jejichž životy jsou závislé na druhých a jako takové mohou být obětovány [Thorneycroft, Asquith 2021].…”

“…to, že se objevilo již v první studii o předsudečném napadání lidí s postižením [Waxman 1991] a zájem o něj trvá dodnes [např. Thorneycroft, Asquith 2021;Roulstone 2019]. Taylor [2017: 217-218] považuje představu zranitelnosti lidí s disabilitou za "asi nejsilnější stereotyp týkající se lidí s postižením ve veřejné politice a lidovém diskurzu", jdoucí ve stopách dlouhodobého vnímání těchto lidí jako objektů lítosti a paternalismu.…”

Violence, Bias and People with Disabilities: An Introduction to Disablist Hate Crime Research

Violence against disabled people has recently been recognised as an important, albeit neglected research topic. Drawing attention to violence motivated by anti-disability bias, this article offers an introduction to research on disablist hate crime. First, it presents a conceptualisation of hate crime and explains such concepts as disablism and ableism. Second, it discusses the concept of disability/disablist hate crime and analyses four areas that reflect the multifaceted nature of disability hate crime research and the social applications of the concept, ranging from conceptual issues to empirical findings, to political implications. These issues are:(1) vulnerability (a strongly criticised belief that people with disabilities are susceptible to victimisation because of 'their' disabilities); ( 2) invisibility (the under-representation of disablist violence in police statistics); (3) risk (individual and social factors that produce situational vulnerabilities to disablist hate crime); and (4) intervention (measures suggested to prevent disablist hate crime, including the hate crime legislation). Possible future directions of research are outlined in the conclusion.

“…As highlighted by many disabled advocates and researchers, disabled lives, including disabled children's lives, were not considered essential during the pandemic (Gurza, n.d.;Mingus, 2022;Parekh & Underwood, 2020;Thorneycroft & Asquith, 2021). The devaluing of disabled lives has also persisted in the wake of ending the pandemic and the narratives around the economic toll the pandemic has had and continues to have.…”

The purpose of this article is to contribute new insights to critical disability and disabled children’s childhood studies that center on the valuing of disabled children’s lives—a guiding purpose in the disability justice movement. We use published findings from the Inclusive Early Childhood Service System project, a longitudinal, institutional ethnography of the ways that families and children are organized around categories of disability, which show social inclusions and exclusions before and during the pandemic. These findings illuminate: (a) institutional flexibility for the purpose of social inclusion and isolation during the pandemic as a result of institutional organization; (b) the impact of institutional decisions around closures, remote programs, and support on families’ choices and self‐determination; and (3) the ways safety is differently applied and rationalized for disabled children allowing institutions to exclude disabled children and families. We use critical disability studies and disabled children’s childhood studies to interpret these findings and position the valuing of disabled children’s lives with a call for disability justice actions.

“We’re led by stupid people”: Exploring Trump’s use of denigrating and deprecating speech to promote hatred and violence

In response to a call for criminologists to consider the impact of former President Donald Trump’s presumed criminality, we analyze verbal-textual hostility (VTH) in Trump’s campaign speeches. Politicians have particular power and reach with their speech and their use of VTH is an important part of the trifecta of violence. Using a framework informed by linguistic theory and previous analysis of hate speech in recorded hate crimes, we present the categories of deprecation and denigration, and discuss their relationship to domination. In context, these forms of VTH enhance and serve as precursors to more violent speech and acts.
