Barriers for Victims with Disabilities

The National Crime Victimization Survey indicates that people with disabilities are more than twice as likely to be victims of crime; people with cognitive disabilities are the most likely to be victims of violent crime. However, victims with disabilities can face challenges in accessing justice and services. The Council for Court Excellence (CCE) was pleased to have Dr. Brittany Hayes, Associate Professor at the University of Cincinnati, present her team’s work on “Barriers for Victims with Disabilities.” This presentation particularly focuses on enhancing access to justice for victims with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).
