BACKGROUND
Many offenders with intellectual disabilities have substance use issues. Offending behaviour may be associated with substance use.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Prisoners with and without intellectual disabilities were compared in terms of their substance use prior to imprisonment, the influence of substance use on offending, and their participation in alcohol and drug treatment programmes.
RESULTS
Substance use was similar in prisoners with and without intellectual disabilities in the year prior to their current prison terms. Prisoners with intellectual disabilities were much less likely to report that substance use was an antecedent to the offences leading to their imprisonment. The completion rate of alcohol and drug treatment programmes was much lower for those with intellectual disabilities.
CONCLUSIONS
Substance use may be as common in prisoners with intellectual disabilities as those without this condition. Services may need to reflect on whether their treatment programmes are meeting the needs of all prisoners.
背景
许多智力残疾罪犯存在物质使用问题。犯罪行为可能与物质使用有关。
材料与方法
对有和没有智力残疾的囚犯在入狱前的物质使用情况、物质使用对犯罪的影响以及他们参与酒精和药物治疗项目的情况进行了比较。
结果
在当前刑期前一年，有和没有智力残疾的囚犯物质使用情况相似。智力残疾囚犯报告物质使用是导致其入狱罪行的前提条件的可能性要小得多。智力残疾者参与酒精和药物治疗项目的完成率要低得多。
结论
智力残疾囚犯中的物质使用情况可能与非智力残疾囚犯一样普遍。服务机构可能需要反思其治疗项目是否满足了所有囚犯的需求。
