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.

Offering an interdisciplinary exploration of the complex relationships between disability, crime, and victimisation, this comprehensive handbook gathers insights from leading scholars across diverse fields, including disability studies, criminology, history, sociology, forensic psychology, forensic psychiatry, and the neurosciences, who have conducted extensive research in these areas. Adopting a global perspective, this volume applies various theoretical frameworks to explore the experiences of diverse disabled communities, including those with mental health issues, neurodiversity, sensory impairments, and physical disabilities, as they interact with the criminal justice system. It also presents contemporary perspectives on crime and victimisation, encompassing biomedical, biopsychosocial, structural, cultural, and realist approaches, and in doing so it delves into critical issues, including marginalisation, discrimination, exclusion, and intersectionality, while also addressing the inherent disablism and ableism apparent in the justice system. Divided into five comprehensive sections – Introduction to the Routledge International Handbook of Disability, Crime, and Justice; Histories of Disability and Crime; Biomedical and Biopsychosocial Criminology; Structural Disability Criminology; Cultural Disability Criminology; and Realist Disability Criminology, this groundbreaking publication covers a wide range of topics. These include disability theory, penal populations, community interventions, policing, probation, courts, prisons, hate crimes, interpersonal victimisation, domestic violence, sex work, marginalisation, deviance, media representations, and systemic ableism/disablism within the justice system. The Routledge Handbook of Disability, Crime, and Justice stands as a definitive guide to disability, crime, and justice and will be of value to all those with an interest in this area.

Concern for crime victims has been a growing political issue in improving the legitimacy and success of the criminal justice system through the rhetoric of rights. Since the 1970s there have been numerous reforms and policy documents produced to enhance victims’ satisfaction in the criminal justice system. The Republic of Ireland has seen a sea-change in more recent years from a focus on services for victims to a greater emphasis on procedural rights. The purpose of this book is to chart these reforms against the backdrop of wider political and regional changes emanating from the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights, and to critically examine whether the position of crime victims has actually ameliorated. The book discusses the historical and theoretical concern for crime victims in the criminal justice system, examins the variety of forms of legal and service provision inclusion, amd concludes by analysing the various needs of victims which continue to be unmet.
