To better answer the research question of “how effective are the policy making and laws in deterring transphobic crimes in Italy and USA?”, this thesis will be divided in four sections: historical analysis of the countries’ judicial advancements, definition of specific theories and terms, analysis of specific case studies of transphobic crimes and proposal of potential solutions. Moreover two cases of transphobic murders are going to be analyzed, one for the US and one for Italy, providing also a legislative and judicial outcome and explanation.Lastly, the conclusion will be composed by possible solutions and recommendations for the future.36 pagesenAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/GaysLesbiansCrimes againstThesis
