Ep30: A different lens? Neurodivergence in the criminal justice system
It is estimated that over half the prison population is neurodivergent, including people who are autistic or have ADHD or a brain injury. Is society’s failure to understand neurodivergence leading to disproportionate criminalisation?
In this episode, Rob and Penelope are joined by MP and former Lord Chancellor Sir Robert Buckland and Angela Kirwin, criminal justice author. They discuss the factors that cause neurodivergent people to come into contact with the justice system, how they experience prison differently, and efforts to promote neuroinclusion across justice.
