People with Acquired Brain Injury and the Victorian Justice System
註釋This information book of rights and resources has been designed as a practical guide for people with ABI, as well as their families, carers and advisers as they negotiate the justice system.We now know there is a very high rate of acquired brain injury (ABI) among prison inmates. This book addresses the lack of knowledge across the ABI disability service sector about the working of the criminal justice system, and the criminal justice system's lack of knowledge about ABI and the disability service sector, as well as helping people with ABI, their families and broader social networks. This book is a substantial, ground-breaking contribution to practical knowledge about this problem. The book explains wWhat to do, who to ask, and how to respond when faced with arrest, questioning, police custody, court hearings, conviction, prison and release. It was written by Diverge Consulting and Villamanta Disability Rights Legal Service.Digital copies are available from www.diverge.org.au or www.villamanta.org.au
