This book offers an original perspective on neurodivergence in the context of criminal justice. Neurodivergence collectively describes a range of neurodevelopmental differences which primarily affect cognitive processes such as social communication, learning and memory and sensory processing. The way in which criminal justice systems, processes, and institutions engage with neurodivergent individuals is an emerging priority for policymakers, legal and clinical practitioners, academics, and a fundamental issue for people with disabilities and lived experience. The collection draws together insights from multiple jurisdictions, spanning common and civil law traditions in various regions of the world. Edited by an international team of interdisciplinary experts in the field, the volume sheds light on existing challenges for neurodivergent individuals, including suspects, defendants and victims of crime, as well as best practice in ensuring fair and effective justice processes. The book ultimately aims to identify common experiences, challenges and changes in this vital area, which can be shared and built on by the next generation of international scholars, practitioners, and neurodivergent people.
