It addresses how neurodivergent individuals are more likely to encounter the CJS as victims and accused persons, while also facing barriers and adverse outcomes. The analysis argues for specifically adapted approaches across all stages, from policing to prisons, and critically appraises scholarship and practice to identify challenges, best-practice options, and priorities for further research and policy development.","[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nNeurodivergence and the Criminal Justice System  \nThis book explores key topics in the area of neurodivergence and the criminal justice system (CJS) of England and Wales, encompassing a synopsis of up-to-date academic literature, key challenges in the area, and the practical implications for fair and effective justice processes.  \nNeurodivergent individuals are more likely to encounter the CJS as victims and accused persons, in addition to being more likely to face barriers and adverse outcomes associated with CJS involvement. It is increasingly recognised that specifically adapted approaches are required to address this at all stages of the CJS, from policing through to prisons. This book explores and critically appraises existing scholarship and practices in this context, signposting areas for further research and policy development, and highlighting best practice approaches which have demonstrated potential in England and Wales. Whilst there are books that touch on neurodivergence generally, or specific forms of neurodivergence (e.g., autism or developmental language disorder) and the CJS, this will be the first to deal specifically with neurodivergence as a broader phenomenon injustice processes, providing a novel contribution to the field. Each chapter includes recommendations and tips for practice with a focus on pragmatic application for practitioners.  \nThis book will appeal to anyone working in the fields of neurodiversity or criminal justice, as well as those working therapeutically with offenders. It will also appeal to researchers, policy makers, and academic faculty.  \nTom Smith, LLB, PhD, is Associate Professor in Law at the University of the West of England (UWE), UK, specialising in criminal justice, fair trial, and neurodivergence.  \nRoxanna Dehaghani, LLB, LLM, PhD, is Reader in Law at Cardiff University, UK, specialising in vulnerability in the criminal process.  \nBlánaid Gavin, PhD, is Associate Professor at University College Dublin, Ireland, and a Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist.

The series grew from a series of annual international online conferences organised by University College Dublin, Maynooth University, ADHD Ireland, ION and the Neurodiversity Hub. The conference sparked significant interest and dialogue, leading to a series of follow-up masterclasses, and eventually, this book series.  \nAt its core, this series seeks to push beyond traditional academic boundaries by creating a platform for neurodivergent and neuro-mixed voices to share research, lived experience, and critical reflections. Contributors were invited for their scholarly expertise, but also for their capacity to bring authentic, engaged, and at times challenging perspectives to the forefront. The resulting volumes reflect an inclusive and dialogic approach that takes on complexity, fosters respectful disagreement, and centres empowerment for those often marginalised by dominant systems and narratives.  \nThe books are underpinned by a neurodiversity-affirmative framework, which seeks to move away from deficit-based thinking and clinical
