“…There has been an increasing interest in offenders with intellectual disability (ID) over the last 5 years (Lindsay, Hastings and Beech 2011). Research has been conducted on the prevalence of people with ID in prisons and other parts of the criminal justice system Persson,2011,Jones andTalbot 2010), the legal context for the detention of offenders with ID (French, Chan andCarracher 2010, Webber et al 2010) and on pathways through the criminal justice system (Carson et al 2010, Lindsay et al 2010a. There has also been a range of research on the assessment of risk (Camilleri and Quinsey 2011) and the way in which characteristics of offenders with ID may relate to the offences and risk (Lindsay et al 2010c, Lunsky et al 2011.…”

This study compared 131 sex offenders with ID and 346 other types of offenders with ID using case file records.. All the females in the study were non sexual offenders. Significantly more sexual offenders were referred from court and criminal justice services while significantly fewer were referred from secondary healthcare. A higher percentage of sex offenders had some form of legal status at time of referral. Greater proportions of non sexual offenders were referred for aggression, damage to property, substance abuse and fire setting while only the sex offenders had an index sex offence. For previous offending, the non sexual offenders had higher rates of aggression, cruelty and neglect of children, property damage and substance abuse while the sexual offenders had higher rates of previous sexual offending. For psychiatric disturbance and adversity in childhood, only ADHD showed a significant difference between groups with the non sexual offenders recording higher rates.

“…As liberty and security are foundational values underpinning our system of law and government, there must be a particularly compelling purpose to justify the curtailment of such rights. 166 Given the importance of these rights, convenience, cost and administrative efficiency could not be proper purposes. Such restrictions could also not rest solely on the basis that a person had a disability.…”

This is the second article in a two-part series that establishes a framework for evaluating law as it affects the rights to liberty and security for people with intellectual and cognitive impairments. This article uses the rights-based approach developed in the first article to establish a methodology to evaluate the range of ways in which law can be made or interpreted in this area. The methodology considers the adjudication of common law rights by courts, judicial interpretation of statute and the making of laws. Key areas of law considered are those that permit the detention and use of restrictive practices for 'challenging behaviours' or 'behaviours of concern'. The article concludes by arguing that a rights-based approach and a method to assess how law applies it is essential to ensure that a 'thick' rule of law can protect and promote the rights and interests of people with intellectual and cognitive impairments.
