The Journal of Intellectual Disabilities and Offending Behaviour (JIDOB) welcomes papers from academics and practitioners involved in researching or supporting people with intellectual disabilities and/or neurodevelopmental disorders who are involved (or in danger of becoming involved) with the criminal justice or forensic health systems.

JIDOB publishes articles on the latest international research and policy, as well as being a vital source of practical advice about working effectively with these groups who often fall in the gap between mainstream and forensic services.

We welcome submissions on topics including (but not limited to):

• the nature of intellectual, learning and developmental disabilities and neurodevelopmental disorders and offending behaviour – recent research, epidemiological issues, the nature and type of offending and cross-cultural comparisons 
• treatment approaches – what works? 
• diagnostic issues 
• risk assessment and management 
• needs and views of service users and carers. 

The journal will consider the following article types:

• Research, policy or practice papers – these are subject to double anonymous peer review.
• Book reviews –these will be reviewed by a member of the editorial team.
• New for 2023 – commentary articles – a shorter article type allowing the author to demonstrate an evidence-based opinion or commentary on a relevant topic. These articles are subject to review by a member of the editorial team.
