Autistic people are more likely to be victims and witnesses of crime than offenders. This section offers guidance on how to make the Criminal Justice System experience better for autistic people and their families.
In this section you will find information about what happens if you are interviewed by the police, how you can help your autistic child if they are the victim or witness of a crime, and information about how police officers and criminal justice professionals can better support autistic people they may come into contact with.
This page gives you an overview. For more information on distressed behaviour and how to respond to it, select from the menu above or the guide links below.
