The terms \u2018learning difficulties\u2019 and \u2018learning difficulties\u2019 are often used interchangeably to describe people with an intellectual disability, excluding those who, for example, have dyslexia or Asperger syndrome. No One Knows, however, has adopted a more inclusive approach and has included in its remit offenders with learning disabilities as defined by the World Health Organization as well as those with a broader range of learning difficulties. Although there is some discrepancy on prevalence, it is clear that high numbers of people with learning disabilities and difficulties are caught up in the criminal justice system. Once in the criminal justice system it is unlikely that an individual with learning disabilities or difficulties will be identified or that their support needs will be met. This causes difficulties for the individual concerned and for the staff who work with them, who receive little or no training for working with this group of people. The question of whether people with learning disabilities (meaning intellectual disabilities) should be diverted from the criminal justice system is considered.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1080\/17449200903115797","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,8,13]],"date-time":"2009-08-13T23:58:55Z","timestamp":1250207935000},"page":"141-152","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["No One Knows: Offenders with learning disabilities and learning difficulties"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"J.","family":"Talbot","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Prison Reform Trust, 15 Northburgh Street, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"p_1","volume-title":"Revised ethical guidelines for educational research","author":"British Educational Research Association","year":"2004"},{"key":"p_2","volume-title":"May 2004 -","author":"Bryan K.","year":"2004"},{"key":"p_3","unstructured":"Clare, I.C.H.
