Submission Guidelines
We would like to invite you to submit Abstracts for presentation (oral and poster presentations) at the Autism and the Criminal Justice System: Current Research and Future Directions conference to be held in Salford, Greater Manchester, UK on Wednesday 12th & Thursday 13th September 2018
List of Topics
The theme of the 2018 conference is autism in the criminal justice system - a 'whole system approach' to the study of autism within this context. There is growing recognition of ASD within the criminal justice system. There is increased recognition that the ability to negotiate the criminal justice process may be particularly complex and difficult for individuals with ASD. This can be exacerbated by the hidden nature of their impairments in that their relatively good verbal abilities may mask their underlying socio-communicative impairments. Therefore, when being interviewed by police or while being questioned during court proceedings, vulnerabilities in adults are not always identified.
