This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the roots of
institutionalization, deinstitutionalization legislation and
policies of the twentieth century, and twenty-first-century efforts
to promote community living policies domestically and
internationally, particularly through the role of the United
Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
(UNCRPD), a landmark treaty adopted on 13 December 2006. Rimmerman
shows that deinstitutionalization and community living cannot be
examined only in terms of the number of institutions closed but
also through the substantial change in values, legislation, and
policies supporting personalization, as well as the social
participation of people with disabilities. The book includes a
significant exploration of United States legislation and important
Supreme Court decisions compared with European policies toward
community living. Finally it discusses the importance of Articles
12 and 19 of the convention and demonstrates the case of Israel
that has used the convention as a road map for proposing a new
community living policy.
