Withdrawal from public life after hate crime is coerced safety, not choice
Evidence
Rather than risk the threat of being attacked, many actual and potential victims choose to retreat to their ‘own’ communities and as a result become reclusive. Clearly, this limits the behavioural options and life choices of individuals, as it determines their area of residence, their vocational pursuits and leisure activities, their mode of transport, and even their access to educational opportunities. Concurrently, this reality often results in segregation in housing, transportation, education, employment and leisure activities. However, for Perry and Alvi (2012) this is not a voluntary choice; rather, it is the ‘safe’ choice. — Runnymede Trust (ed. Farah Elahi & Omar Khan), Islamophobia, 364
