Purpose Expert consensus is that people with an intellectual disability are over represented across the Criminal Justice Setting. Primary research studies have been conducted in police stations and prisons but little is known about the prevalence of this population in the Court setting. A literature review was conducted to find out more about the prevalence of defendants with an intellectual disability in Court. Design/method/approach A literature review was conducted using standard systematic review methodology (Higgins & Green 2011) and the PRISMA reporting guidelines (Moher et al., 2009). Findings Two papers met the inclusion criteria and were critically appraised. The papers reported prevalence findings ranging from 10-20%. Limitations/implications Differences in study design, sampling, recruitment and diagnostic criteria affect the ability to make comparisons or synthesise findings. Practical implications It is important that future primary and secondary research studies standardise operational terms to enable true comparison between studies, systematic reviews and evidence syntheses. Social Implications Defendants with an intellectual disability need to be identified to enable Criminal Justice Professionals to make reasonable adjustments to proceedings and consider diversion and alternative disposal options. This will likely improve outcomes for this population and reduce recidivism. Originality/value This literature review contributes to the growing evidence base about meeting the criminal justice needs of people with a learning disability and recognition of the increased prevalence across the Criminal Justice System and specifically within the Court setting.

关于法院联络和改道服务机构中智障人士普遍存在和识别的文献综述
目的专家共识是,在司法环境中,智障人士的人数过多。在派出所和监狱中进行了初步研究,但对该法院中该人群的普遍性知之甚少。进行了文献综述,以了解更多有关智力障碍的被告在法庭上的患病率的信息。设计/方法/方法使用标准的系统评价方法(Higgins&Green 2011)和PRISMA报告指南(Moher等人,2009)进行文献综述。结果有两篇论文符合纳入标准,并受到严格评估。论文报道的患病率介于10%至20%之间。局限性/含义研究设计,抽样,招募和诊断标准会影响进行比较或综合发现的能力。实际意义重要的是,未来的中小学研究必须对操作术语进行标准化,以使研究,系统评价和证据综合之间能够进行真正的比较。社会影响需要确定智障的被告,以使刑事司法专业人员能够合理地调整诉讼程序,并考虑转移使用和其他处置选择。这可能会改善该人群的结局并减少累犯。
