<br/><br/> "People who can't see, hear or think like the general population are denied civil rights by a criminal justice system that ignores developmentally disabled crime victims, law enforcement and victim advocates say." (ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER) This article examines why disabled victims of abuse often don't report the crimes committed against them, while revealing that "developmentally disabled people are raped, murdered and beaten at a rate of 9.4 times higher than the norm, but their cases get prosecuted 14 times less often."
