Development of the community based individual risk mitigation profile (IRMP) for people who have intellectual disability and are at risk of offending

Journal of Intellectual Disabilities and Offending Behaviour, < a href="http://www.emeraldinsight.com/toc/jidob/7/2" > Volume 7, Issue 2 < /a > , Page 66-74, June 2016. < br/ > Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to discuss the development of the community-based individual risk mitigation profile (IRMP) and to examine its effectiveness for people who have an intellectual disability, and are at risk of offending, through the use of a case study. Design/methodology/approach – Case study and literature review. Findings – The tool has been found to be useful and accessible by clinicians. It has a particular focus on joint sharing of opinion on risk and decision making in a structured and contained multi-disciplinary forum, that is evidence-based and defensible. This multi-disciplinary approach meets recommendations in best practice in relation to risk. Research limitations/implications – A current limitation is that the IRMP has not been evaluated for reliability and validity, though a research study is being planned. Originality/value – The pa per highlights the usefulness of a community-based risk profile assessment and linked risk mitigation process.
