“…Though there is a large body of quality research providing empirical support for individual aspects of antisocial development; this largely lacks integration, resulting in the identification of many loosely connected risk factors and predictors of antisocial behaviour. This affects understanding of how identified genetic and biological predispositions, life experiences, cognitive and emotional processes, and sociocultural contexts work together to produce enacted antisocial behaviour, particularly aggression (Dodge and Pettit, 2003; Garrigan and Langdon, in press).…”

“…Garrigan and Langdon (in press), therefore proposed an integrated framework of moral development that incorporates and combines SIP, moral development and associated theories, along with neuropsychological constructs. The model is dynamic, in that it allows for change and progress, either via maturation or therapeutic gains; recursive, i.e.…”

“…Adult offenders have documented difficulties with the encoding and interpretation of social cues (e.g. Hoaken et al , 2007; Schönenberg and Jusyte, 2014; Gillespie et al , 2015) goal clarification and response construction (Losel and Beelman, 2005), moral judgement (Palmer, 2003) and intrinsically, the behavioural enactment stages of the Garrigan and Langdon (in press) model. Similar findings have been reported in populations of people with intellectual disabilities and difficulties with aggression (Pert et al , 1999; Jahoda et al , 2006; Pert and Jahoda, 2008; Larkin et al , 2013) or offending behaviour (Langdon et al , 2011).…”

“…The EQUIP programme has also shown utility in reducing recidivism and improving social skills amongst young offenders (Garrigan and Langdon, in press). The EQUIP programme is theoretically robust, and multicomponent in nature, including anger management, cognitive restructuring, problem-solving, and interventions that target moral development, while improving both social skills and problem-solving ability, all of which link to criminal offending behaviour (Garrigan and Langdon, in press). The EQUIP programme comprises two types of treatment sessions: Mutual Help Meetings, and Equipment Meetings.…”

Purpose: Social deficits are central within conceptualisations of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and seperately linked to offending behaviour. Social problem solving interventions are often used with offenders, but little research has examined the social information processing (SIP) skills of individuals with ASD and a history of criminal offending behaviours.Design/methodology/approach: This conceptual paper will introduce the SIP model, review SIP research as applied to those with ASD and in forensic populations, and further consider the relevance to the assessment and treatment of offenders with ASD.Findings: Difficulties in all areas of the SIP model are noted in ASD and research suggests these difficulties may be directly linked to behaviour. Practical implications:It is possible that identifying SIP abilities and deficits could improve the effectiveness of rehabilitation programmes for this group. Originality/value: This paper reviews the utility of social information models in the offending behaviour of people with ASD. IntroductionPeople with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who engage in offending behaviour are a small but overrepresented group within the criminal justice system. Although a topic of interest in academic literature, there has been little theoretically driven research. WoodburySmith et al. (2005; highlighted that when considering vulnerability to offending in ASD, risk factors identified in the general criminological literature are relevant, e.g. low IQ, poor educational achievement, and hyperactivity-impulsivity-inattention; as well as ASD specific risk factors, such as poor social understanding, circumscribed interests, difficulties in adjusting to the diagnosis and social exclusion. Social problem solving interventions are considered effective for reducing offending behaviours (e.g. McMurran et al., 1999), and while social deficits are part of the conceptualisation of ASD, and independently linked to offending behaviour, social information processing (SIP) models have not been applied to those with both ASD and a history of criminal offending behaviours. This conceptual paper aims to introduce the SIP model, review SIP research involving both those with ASD, and those with offending behaviours. Furthermore, the utility of SIP models in explaining and treating some of the specific difficulties faced by those with ASD who have a history of criminal offending behaviours will be examined. What is Social Information Processing and how is it affected in Autism Spectrum Disorder?Social information processing (SIP) models aim to increase understanding of antisocial behaviour (van Nieuwenhuijzen et al., 2004;Stickle, Kirkpatrick & Brush, 2009) and have been described as one of the most fruitful areas of study for understanding the processes implicated in persistent aggression (Bowen, Roberts, Kocian, & Bartula, 2014; Stickle, Kirkpatrick & Brush, 2009). The most well-known SIP model is that of Crick and Dodge (1994;1996;Dodge, 1986;Dodge & Price, 1994). According to their model, several...
