Launch of 'Enabling Justice' ReportEnabling Justice is a new report which highlights problems for alleged offenders with intellectual disability in the NSW Local Court System. Opportunities to divert people into support services that will avoid repeat offending are being lost. The result is people with intellectual disability being highly represented in prison where they are vulnerable to abuse. Justice Virginia Bell of the NSW Court of Appeal launched the Enabling Justice report at State Parliament House on 21st May 2008. Enabling Justice has been produced by the Intellectual Disability Rights Service (IDRS), in conjunction with the Coalition on Intellectual Disability and Criminal Justice and NSW CID |
