Council of State Governments Webinar
Intellectual Disabilities in the Criminal Justice System
People with intellectual and developmental disabilities are often overlooked in the criminal justice system because of a lack of identification and understanding, along with service gaps that prevent providers from addressing their needs. They are also often victimized by people without these disabilities, which can sometimes lead to sustained involvement with the criminal justice system. This no-cost webinar, hosted by the Council of State Governments Justice Center and the Bureau of Justice Assistance, will discuss the prevalence of intellectual and developmental disabilities within people in the criminal justice system and will explain how people with these disabilities become involved in the criminal justice system.
Date: Thursday, July 30
Time: 2:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m., ET
