“…The original SVQ contained 45 items, from which 30 items loaded onto six factors (see Fisher et al, 2012 for description of factor analytic procedures). The 30 items within these 6 factors were used for this study.…”

“…Once they reach school age, youth with ID are more likely to experience bullying and peer victimization than their typically developing peers (Cappadocia, Weiss, & Pepler, 2012; Sentenac, Gavin, Arnaud, Molcho, Godeau, & Gabhainn, 2012; Sterzing, Shattuck, Narendorf, Wagner, & Cooper, 2012). Finally, adults with ID (versus those without) are at increased risk of experiencing physical and sexual assault, robbery, and personal theft (Fisher, Moskowitz, & Hodapp, 2012; Wilson & Brewer, 1992). …”

Although individuals with disabilities are at increased risk of victimization, few studies examine persons with different disability conditions to determine whether distinctive cognitive-behavioral profiles are associated with different levels of social vulnerability. To determine the differences in social vulnerability and experiences of victimization, caregiver responses to a Social Vulnerability Questionnaire were examined for 103 caregivers of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), Williams syndrome (WS), and Down syndrome (DS). Although all three groups experienced similar rates and types of victimization, the specific correlates of social vulnerability differed by disability. Individuals with ASD displayed less risk awareness and had less social protection; those with WS were rated higher on risk factors related to perceived vulnerability and parental independence; and those with DS had less risk awareness and were perceived to be more vulnerable. Safety interventions should be tailored to address each group's specific correlates of social vulnerability.

“…These are described in the review (the Social Vulnerability Questionnaire, Fisher, Moskowitz, & Hodapp, 2012; the Test of Interpersonal Competence and Personal Vulnerability, Wilson, Seaman, & Nettelbeck, 1996; and the Decision-making Video Scale, Hickson, Khemka, Golden, & Chatzistyli, 2008). Moreover, data collected by the US Bureau of Justice indicate that between 2010 and 2013 rates of crime against people with a disability, including an intellectual one, continued to increase (Bureau of Justice Statistics, 2015).…”

“…Encouragingly, the significance of the problem has been increasingly recognised, with new assessment techniques for identifying vulnerability emerging after our paper was published. These are described in the review (the Social Vulnerability Questionnaire, Fisher, Moskowitz, & Hodapp, 2012; the Test of Interpersonal Competence and Personal Vulnerability, Wilson, Seaman, & Nettelbeck, 1996; and the Decision-making Video Scale, Hickson, Khemka, Golden, & Chatzistyli, 2008). The focus on detecting and addressing vulnerability to criminal victimisation is encouraging because it provides a mechanism for impacting crime rates.…”

In the late 1980s police were concerned about the potential impacts of moves to close institutions housing people with mental health problems and intellectual disability. This concern resulted in a project designed to measure incidence of criminal victimisation among the latter group: face-to-face interviews were undertaken with 174 sheltered workshop attendees. This study highlighted the significantly heightened risk of the group for both personal and property crime and we undertook subsequent work in an attempt to identify variables that impacted upon vulnerability. The review of research extending beyond Wilson and Brewer indicated that the results were not isolated to this initial study. The paper reflects on the review to discuss research and other the activities in this area that have followed subsequently. Although advances have been made in the collection of data, and both criminal justice and social services have been encouraged to take note of this group's vulnerability, the challenge of decreasing criminal victimisation clearly remains. The nature and complexity of this challenge is described.
