Vunerable Victims? A Current Awareness of the Victimisation of People with Learning Disabilities

Summary

The general victimisation of adults with learning disabilities has received little significant attention. This position paper outlines relevant literature, and a current awareness of the nature of victimisation, police and reporting, and court procedures. It aims to provide a basis for research or other actions, which can contribute to minimising victimisation and maximising the means of support and redress for victims.
