Project Description:
Create a report for the Washington State Developmental Disabilities Council (DDC) that reviews laws at state and national levels addressing criminal justice involvement of people with IDD, documents programs, practices, and initiatives related to criminal justice and people with IDD, and provides recommendations for future policies and programs. To the extent possible with the available literature, the report will highlight the disproportionate criminal justice involvement of racial and ethnic communities and/or rural or other historically marginalized or underserved IDD communities and the intersectionality of identity and systems. Project Components: • A scoping review of available research literature documenting programs, practices, and initiatives related to criminal justice and people with IDD. • A legal review of laws at state and national levels addressing restrictive settings and people with IDD. • Qualitative interviews with key informants in Washington to understand existing programs and ongoing needs. A report summarizing findings with recommendations for dissemination will be delivered to DDC by September 30, 2024.
