This book examines the experiences of disabled people on public
transport to reveal the everyday abuses that many experience there,
and the resilience that they need in order to conduct an ordinary
life. This work represents an intertwining of personal journeys,
with its author writing from first-hand experience, and now working
as one of the leading researchers of disability hate crime (DHC) in
the UK. DHC is an under-researched area and the findings in this
book have implications beyond the public transport context. This
book draws on a sample of 56 victim-participants and includes data
drawn from public transport regulators, service operators and staff
in the UK. Wilkin argues that established legislation needs to be
recognised and implemented by regulatory and local authorities in
order to reach equality objectives on public transport. Each
chapter is clearly structured, accessibly written and includes key
definitions which will speak to practitioners and academics with an
interest in victimology, policing, social policy, gender studies,
disability studies, migration studies, equality studies and
religious studies. This book also examines how effectively
authorities and service providers safeguard disabled people on UK
public transport and reveals adaptive approaches to researching
with disabled people.
