Trans People in the Criminal Justice System: A Guide for Criminal Justice Personnel
In order to do their job effectively, criminal justice personnel are expected to respond to and treat all members of the community with respect. As our population has become increasingly diverse, criminal justice personnel have had to expand their awareness and understanding of the unique and specific needs of each community. Diversity extends beyond culture, ethnicity, religion, abilities, and sexual orientation; there is also diversity of gender beyond the binary division into man/woman. This diversity is referred to as gender-variance or transgenderism.
The purpose of this information package is to provide criminal justice personnel and those who work with them in policing, court services, and corrections with the information necessary to respond appropriately to trans individuals who come into contact with the criminal justice system.
