Emotional and behavioural problems in offenders with intellectual disability: comparative data from three forensic services

Abstract

Implications for research and clinical practice are discussed, including the utility of the EPS as a measure of clinical need and treatment outcome.

How do static and dynamic risk factors work together to predict violent behaviour among offenders with an intellectual disability?

“…Beyond this, the measure has shown potential utility for assessing treatment need and outcome in offenders with ID (Hogue et al . ) and as a dynamic indicator of violent behaviour (Lindsay et al . ).…”

Forensic psychiatric perspective on criminality associated with intellectual disability: a nationwide register‐based study

“…Finally, it is also possible for challenging behaviour and functional psychiatric disorders to coexist and exert mutual influence over each other (Allen & Davies 2007). Despite increasing knowledge on the assessment of emotional and behavioural problems in people with ID, relatively little research has examined such problems in offenders with ID (Hogue et al. 2007).…”

“…Finally, it is also possible for challenging behaviour and functional psychiatric disorders to coexist and exert mutual influence over each other (Allen & Davies 2007). Despite increasing knowledge on the assessment of emotional and behavioural problems in people with ID, relatively little research has examined such problems in offenders with ID (Hogue et al 2007). Previous studies have reported that up to 30% of institutionalised ID offenders and 50 % of those in community habitation projects have psychiatric disorders (Day 1988;Garcia & Steele 1988;Wood & White 1992).…”

Relationship between Assessed Emotion, Personality, Personality Disorder and Risk in Offenders with Intellectual Disability

“…Measures of emotional and behavioural problems have long been established for individuals with ID, and Hogue et al (2007) demonstrated that the Emotional Problems Scale (EPS) (Prout & Strohmer, 1991) was reliable and valid with this client group. Finally, Lindsay et al (2009) in a study on circumplex assessments of personality, found that the CIRCLE (used by Blackburn et al, 2005) and the Interpersonal Adjective Scale (IAS) (Wiggins, 1995) both had an underlying factor structure similar to that of mainstream participants and, in addition, related to each other in an orderly manner, suggesting the validity of the circumplex personality model for this client group.…”
