The authors' studies of intellectually disabled victims of crimes revealed that a major contributing factor was the demonstration of anger by the victim. Compared to intellectually disabled non-victims, the victims showed lower measures of interpersonal competence and higher responses to the anger inventory. The authors advocate anger management and protective behaviours training, and stress the need for policy makers to be aware of both social policy and victim behaviour when developing broad crime prevention strategies.

Although violent crime in the United States has declined over the past five years, certain groups appear to remain at disproportionately high risk for violent victimization. In the United States, people with developmental disabilities-such as mental retardation, autism, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and severe learning disabilities may be included in this group. While the scientific evidence is scanty, a handful of studies from the United States, Canada, Australia, and Great Britain consistently find high rates of violence and abuse affecting people with these kinds of disabilities. A number of social and demographic trends are converging that may worsen the situation considerably over the next several years. The prevalence of developmental disabilities has increased in low-income populations, due to a number of factors, such as poor prenatal nutrition, lack of access to health care or better perinatal care for some fragile babies, and increases in child abuse and substance abuse during pregnancy. For example, a recent report of the California State Council on Developmental Disabilities found that during the past decade, while the state population increased by 20 percent, the number of persons with developmental disabilities in California increased by 52 percent and the population segment with mild mental retardation doubled. Because of a growing concern among parents and advocates regarding possible high rates of crime victimization among persons with developmental disabilities, Congress, through the Crime Victims with Disabilities Awareness Act of 1998, requested that the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences conduct a study to increase knowledge and information about crimes against individuals with developmental disabilities that will be useful in developing new strategies to reduce the incidence of crimes against those individuals. Crime Victims with Developmental Disabilities summarizes the workshop and addresses the following issues: (1) the nature and extent of crimes against individuals with developmental disabilities; (2) the risk factors associated with victimization of individuals with developmental disabilities; (3) the manner in which the justice system responds to crimes against individuals with disabilities; and (4) the means by which states may establish and maintain a centralized computer database on the incidence of crimes against individuals with disabilities within a state.

an] excellent and path-breaking book, which also considers crime prevention measures before giving advise on crime reporting, using the courts, and civil remedies. It contains a great deal of material useful to staff working with people with learning difficulties, plus training material and ideas.' - Labour Campaign for Criminal Justice Newsletter This is an important and accessible book which is likely to prove useful to a variety of professional audiences. This book is both a handbook for practitioners and a summary of the state of knowledge about the criminal and other kinds of victimization suffered by people with learning difficulties. Alongside the literature review there are extracts from press reports as well as the relevant law, policies and charters, and details of organisations which will provide further information and help. There are also many vivid anecdotal accounts from social workers and from victims themselves, and these bring the research material to life in a remarkable way. This book represents a valiant attempt to combine research dissemination with practical tools for change, and it largely succeeds in its ambitious project...a timely and valuable addition to the literature.' - British Journal of Social Work Williams ably describes the situation and the wide range of crime, abuse and victimisation which can take place... This publication will be an excellent source book.' - Community Care Clear advice is offered in relation to crime prevention and how best to make use of press reporting and the courts should a crime occur. This is an excellent reference book. Key points are presented in useful summaries and the addresses of many relevant organisations are provided... This publication should be read by everyone interested in the rights of people with learning disabilities.' - Nursing Times The book is a valuable contribution to the body of specialist information available about people with learning difficulties.' - Connect Bulletin Chris' work is the most complete look at the subject today, giving details of research into the current situation and the relevant laws; providing a comprehensive guide as to action in particular situtations and making recommendations for changes in current practice and procedures. This book includes outline training sessions for support staff, advocates and the police.' - Values into Action The book contains a wealth of detail and information...Clearly and accessibly written...provides excellent resource material for training staff and advocates, and for work with people with learning difficulties themselves.' - Professional Social Work It is a scholarly work and relies upon extensive consultation and research...There are some salutary lessons and the book is disturbing to read, not only for examples of unacceptable conduct towards people with learning disabilities but also for illustrations of how well-intentioned people may behave in an inappropriate manner...everyone concerned with the welfare of mentally disabled and other vulnerable individuals will have much to learn form this comprehensive study of...the problem.' - Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities I recommend this book as an invaluable reference for more or less anyone in this field, although perhaps one could single out advocates, staff trainers and service managers as those who could least afford to be without a copy. A feature that I found particularly appealing is the way the author takes care to illustrate good practice as well as holding bad practice up for vilification...Buy the book for your library; if you know a judge or magistrate you may consider it a good idea to send a copy on his or her birthday ' - British Journal of Learning Disabilities Invisible Victims outlines the range and nature of crimes against people with learning difficulties, and the way the law doe

For over a century, developmental disabilities have been associated with crime in prejudicial and pejorative contexts. Offenders with Developmental Disabilities provides a balanced, comprehensive review of the prevalence, nature and development of offending by those with intellectual disabilities. Not only does this volume include coverage of evidence-based assessment and treatment ideas, strategies and plans, but also places the field in a historical, legal and ethical context. William Lindsay, John Taylor and Peter Sturmey have brought together a wealth of contributors from differing backgrounds to share new material and knowledge of assessments, treatment, and service issues in a single volume. Divided into five parts, Part I opens with theoretical issues; Part II deals with legal and services contexts including ethical concerns; Part III considers risk assessment, general assessment and approaches to evaluation; Part IV addresses specific issues of sexual offending, anger and aggression, fire raising, dual diagnosis, female offenders and personality disorder; Part V concludes with service development, professional and research issues. Forensic practitioners and students from psychology and psychiatry, lawyers and advocates, nurses and social workers will all find this comprehensive and practical book an inspiration in taking this field forward.
