“…However, it may be particularly important to understand the complex needs of this population within the context of the U.S. criminal justice system. Studies regarding the placement of individuals with ID who sexually offend in the U.K. indicate an emphasis on treatment within community and secure psychiatric settings (Hogue et al, 2006; Lindsay et al, 2010). The U.S. imprisons a greater proportion of its citizens than any other developed country (Walmsley, 2015).…”

Research indicates that individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) are overrepresented among sexual offenders, and that those with ID might differ from those without ID in terms of the etiology of offending behavior. Despite this, few studies have explored ID using incarcerated U.S. samples. The present study sought to identify relevant characteristics of this population by comparing individuals with and without ID who are incarcerated in the U.S. for sexual offenses. Archival records for 3,066 participants were used to determine demographic, historical, and offense-related characteristics. Participants with ID, including those with borderline ID, comprised 19.1% of the sample and displayed elevated rates of adverse childhood experiences and psychopathology. Contrary to previous research, participants with ID were no more likely to offend against children than those without ID. These findings help to elucidate the etiology of offending behavior among those with ID and inform on potential targets for intervention.

“…• Pre-incarceration unemployment People with IDD receive a range of treatments in the community and secure hospital settings (Cohen & Harvey, 2016;Lindsay, Hastings, & Beech, 2011;Marotta, 2015). Most studies reporting treatment for people with IDD are located in the community (Lindsay, Michie, & Lambrick, 2010b) or high or medium security wards associated with mental health treatment (Alexander et al, 2011). Many of these studies report good outcomes along a range of dimensions including recidivism, or improved knowledge, attitudes and skills.…”
