Abstract
In the early 1990's, Dr. Dick Sobsey, a leading expert on victims with disabilities, published two comprehensive bibliographies on this topic. These resources, Disability, Sexuality, and Abuse: An Annotated Bibliography and Violence and Disability: An Annotated Bibliography, provided citations to hundreds of materials on victims with disabilities. Because of the comprehensiveness of these original bibliographies, an attempt was made to use a similar approach when creating this bibliography. The scope of this bibliography is guided by the following parameters: Materials collected ranged from 1990 – 2007. The bibliography only includes materials that focus on people with disabilities who become victims of crime. It does not include materials focused on disabilities resulting from crimes. &#;The bibliography excludes materials which focus only on offenders. However, materials were considered if they addressed both victims and offenders and provided information pertinent to this review. Formats included were limited to peer-reviewed publications, research articles, and formally produced reports. However, a few books and editorials from peer-reviewed journals were also included once they were determined to be appropriate additions.
