| dc.description | Anyone can be victimized by crime. But people who have a disability can be more vulnerable to victimization than others in society. People with a mental impairment can be less able to recognize and avoid danger, and people with a physical impairment can be less able to protect themselves or escape harm. Furthermore, victims of crime who have a disability can be less able to contact law enforcement and, without disability accommodations, help in the investigation of their victimization. | |
