%X Objective: The latest official data showed an alarming increase in LGTBIQ+ hate crimes
in Cadiz. In general, massive leisure contexts are susceptible to be ideal spaces for these
aggressions to take place. More specifically, celebrations with an important folkloric
meaning and cultural tradition are contexts given to the (re)production of the most
immovable gender stereotypes, strongly rooted in heteropatriarchal behaviour patterns.
This paper analyzes the victimization suffered by people who identify as LGBTIQ+
within a specific mass entertainment context, the Feria de Jerez.
Data/Methods: Data collected from an online survey of people who attended the 2019
Feria de Jerez (N=648) were implemented. Descriptive analyses were performed to test
our hypotheses.
Results: These confirmed that: 1) Men are the most prevalent offenders; 2) Harassment
and intimidation were the most prevalent incidents; 3) Night and early morning are the
most prevalent times; 4) Casetas are the most prevalent places.
Discussion: These results fit with the Routine Activity Theory (Cohen and Felson, 1979)
as we were able to find that for all incidents, there was a motivated offender, a suitable
target and the absence of a capable guardian. The high levels of victimization of certain
groups could be analyzed from crime patterns as defined by Bratingham and Bratingham
(1984). But it is also necessary to include the contexts of mass leisure as crime generator
places in this theory.
