Product Description:

When persons with developmental disabilities become victims of crimes or are accused of committing crimes, they face a legal system that is often unprepared to take into consideration their unique needs. As a result, questions of fairness and equal access have been raised in a number of cases. This issue of Impact represents the growing collaboration between the justice system and the disabilities field in seeking to address those questions and ensure that rights are protected and reasonable accommodations are made.
