Crime Statistics and People with Disabilities

[Guest guest]

I didn't find the article I read before, but I found the crime states for

people with disabilities.

People with disabilities are 5-10 times more likely to be the victims of

violent crime than the general public.

Children with any kind of disability are more than twice as likely as

nondisabled children to be physically abused and almost twice as likely to

be sexually assaulted.

People with disabilities most likely victems of crime. This fact is ignored

by US media
