| Abstract: | Purpose – This article aims to describe the development of secure services for women with intellectual disability in the UK and to outline what is known about their mental health needs. Design/methodology/approach – The paper is a general review which is based on what is known historically about the subject, findings from the current literature and the author's own personal knowledge of these specialist services. Findings – Secure services for women with intellectual disability have developed out of mainstream forensic and learning disability services. Originality/value – Although there is a reasonable body of literature on offending in the intellectually disabled population as a whole, little of this is specific to women. Despite this, the evidence there is suggests that women continue to require secure services and that they have significant mental health needs. |
