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.
