Description
Sometimes, people with autism end up detained within prison and secure hospitals. While a very vulnerable group, with particular health care needs, there is often a misconception that this population is at increased risk of committing crime. This e-book aims to focus on the social, biological and psychological factors relevant to our understanding of criminal offending behaviour and autism.
