4.15pm – 5pm EDT, 28 March 2023 ‐ 45 mins

Parallel Workshops

The journey of people with cognitive impairment who have committed serious crimes and have a high risk of further offending is described from both their perspective and that of their case managers. This qualitative narrative addresses how to impact successful maintenance of public safety while also supporting choice and control for those who have offended. The management of people who have offended but are not able to participate in court proceedings and their journey through custodial environments and pathways to the community are explored from their and the case managers perspectives.
