Only as a last resort: perceptions of police among gender, sexual and relationally diverse (GSRD) BDSM/kink participants
Those who engage in BDSM (bondage/discipline, domination/submission and sadism/masochism) activities may experience rare injury, physical/sexual assault, consent violation, etc. However, prior negative experiences with police coupled with the stigmatisation and in some country’s criminalisation of B...

| 520 | |a Those who engage in BDSM (bondage/discipline, domination/submission and sadism/masochism) activities may experience rare injury, physical/sexual assault, consent violation, etc. However, prior negative experiences with police coupled with the stigmatisation and in some country’s criminalisation of BDSM, may deter kink practitioners from seeking police assistance if needed. This may be increasingly true for Gender, Sexual and Relationship Diverse (GSRD) kink-involved individuals (e.g. LGBTQ+). Using mixed methods and an intersectionality and minority stress model framework, we surveyed 623 international self-identified BDSM participants, to explore their perceptions of police. Overall, GSRD participants (e.g. transgender) had greater negative perceptions of police inside and outside of BDSM-contexts compared to non-GSRD participants (e.g. cisgender, heterosexual). Within BDSM-contexts, participants felt that police were poorly educated about BDSM, viewed BDSM dynamics (e.g. dominant/submissive) negatively, did not take reports of consent violations seriously, and should play a minor role in kink communities. While some participants said they would contact police if there was evidence a severe crime was committed, they still expressed concerns and hesitancy. These included fears of judgement, discrimination, not being taken seriously and outing. Others explained a lack of trust in police and therefore would never seek police assistance, or only as a last resort. Nevertheless, participants recognised the existence of a poor relationship between police and kink communities, and a need to improve the relationship. Specific areas where BDSM/police relationships can be improved are discussed, including the use of collaborative officer education initiatives and on-going and future revisions to existing legal frameworks internationally. | ||
