Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) in the police, courts and
correctional services. Ethical and legal issues associated with the
deficits of individuals with a brain disorders such as FASD are
surfacing more and more frequently in criminal proceedings. People

as well as in government departments, agencies and community
programs that provide services to those with FASD and their
caretakers and families. This is the first book to give to
