Pathways into the Criminal Justice System for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities
FY 2010-11
Summary
The present study will describe and compare a sample of adults with intellectual disability (ID) residing in the community, all of whom experience a behavioural incident requiring police intervention. Individuals will be divided into exclusive comparison groups based on the outcome of police intervention such as those that may receive on-scene resolution, individuals taken to jail or those that may be taken to hospital. These groups will be compared in terms of demographics, clinical characteristics and incident details. The purpose of the study is to understand the pathways into forensic services, mainly what leads some individuals to be charged but not others all of whom experience similar types of behavioural incidents.
