Challenging Behaviour and Offending Behaviours
Tizard learning disability review(2020)
Abstract
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore three main areas in relation to the interface between challenging behaviour and offending.Design/methodology/approachThe first aim is to explore the labelling of behaviours as challenging or offending behaviour in the light of legal definitions, staff knowledge and beliefs and the mental capacity and mental health acts. The second is to explore challenging behaviour as a risk factor for offending in people with Intellectual Disability (ID).The third aim is to discuss the challenging behaviour as a barrier to discharge from secure services.FindingsThere is limited research suggesting that challenging behaviour such as physical aggression can lead to longer stay in forensic services, and this warrants further research.Originality/valueThis paper aims to promote discussion about the interface of offending and challenging behaviour in people with IDs and to promote best practice.
