Deep Trouble!

Adults with learning disabilities who offend

Development Partnership Initiative: Keeping People Safe

Margaret Flynn and Jennifer Bernard

DeepTrouble reminds us that a small group of young people, those with a learning disability, must be remembered as we act to tackle offending behaviour...We can and must do better by young people with a learning disability and their families when they are at risk of offending, especially when they are in public care...

Lord Warner of Brockley - Chair of the Youth Justice Board for England and Wales in his introduction to Deep Trouble

DeepTrouble details the experiences of adults with learning disabilities who have committed criminal offences. It presents their ideas about the things that might have made a difference in their lives and the people and events that they recall with gratitude. The book provides a unique insight into the views of those who rely upon criminal justice support systems and details the response of the system to offenders with learning disabilities.

DeepTrouble is relevant to all health and social care professionals with an interest in this area.
