The essential resource to the most recent research and practice on offenders with intellectual and developmental disabilities

The Wiley Handbook on Offenders with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities is a comprehensive compendium to the research and evidence supporting clinical work with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities who offend or are at risk of offending. With contributions from an international panel of experts, the text reviews the most recent developments in the assessment, treatment and management of various types of offenders with intellectual disabilities, including violent offenders, sexual offenders, and firesetters. The text also explores the developments in research on risk assessment and management of people with intellectual disabilities who offend or are at risk of offending.

In addition, the handbook contains information on developments in research into the epidemiology of offending in this population, pathways into services and the trajectories of the criminal careers of those who will later go on to offend. This important resource:

  • Includes contributions from expert international researchers and practitioners in the field
  • Describes a range of theoretical, conceptual and ethical assessments as well as treatment and service development issues that are relevant to practitioners in clinical practice
  • Presents the ethical-legal considerations that offer a conceptual framework for the handbook
  • Sets out a variety of the most current evidence-based interventions

Written for psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses, and other mental health professionals, and those in education and training, The Wiley Handbook on Offenders with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities offers a much-needed resource on the latest developments in the field.
