Chris Williams wanted to find out about crime and abuse against
people with learning difficulties. People told Chris what
happened to them. He found out that:
|
 |
Many people with learning difficulties do not know what crime
is.
|
Crime is when a person does something very bad that is against
the law.
Murder, rape, stealing, and hitting someone are all crimes.
|
Often staff don't help people with learning difficulties
to report crime
|
Abuse is when a person does something that hurts someone
else. But it might not be against the law.
| |
Sometimes the police do nothing about
crime and abuse against people with learning difficulties. |
Calling people names, not letting people have the meals they
need, making fun of people are all abuse.
Victims are people who suffer crime or abuse. |
Victims with learning difficulties do
not always get justice in court. |
Justice means getting what is fair. |
