Abstract

Summary The general victimisation of adults with learning disabilities has received little significant attention. This position paper outlines relevant literature, and a current awareness of the nature of victimisation, police and reporting, and court procedures. It aims to provide a basis for research or other actions, which can contribute to minimising victimisation and maximising the means of support and redress for victims.
