A need for consistency: policy response to crime and abuse against people with learning disabilities

Using data from a survey of social services departments, this paper looks at how local authorities are addressing the needs of people with learning disabilities for protection from crime and abuse within the context of adult protection developments. Previous research indicated that victimisation of this group was less likely to be treated seriously by key agencies. Here, the situation is reassessed.
