Book synopsis

Individuals who present with the combination of developmental disabilities and a history of criminal offenses elicit a wide variety of responses from clinicians and administrators. These responses vary from overly punitive to dismissive. It is relatively easy to find examples of each extreme applied to the same type of offense in different areas. The purpose of this monograph is to present a systematic objective method of assessment that can facilitate the development of clinically appropriate individualised community treatment programs. The Appendix to this monograph contains an Annotated Bibliography of selected recently published articles on this subject.
