Abstract
Recent publications on forensic-related issues in intellectual disability have addressed the experiences and outcomes of a wide range of service styles. The evolving core factors for assessment of the offender and determinants of service provision are being clarified. Particular attention has been given to the clinical issues of sexual offending and abuse and consent and capacity. Many authors have highlighted the paucity of the generally available expertise and appropriate services for this minority, but highly complex group. (C) 2000 Lippincott Williams and Wilkins.
