Abstract
This paper examines the prevalence of disability in juvenile and adult corrections, as well as legislative and litigious actions concerning disabled individuals. The paper also includes a descriptive study of the disability‐related content included in current textbooks used to train professionals in the field of criminal justice. Twenty‐four juvenile and criminal justice textbooks were examined. Reviewers probed for content related to disability, legislation, and litigation. Inter‐reviewer reliability was high. The results of this review indicate that inadequate attention is given to disability issues, including legislation and litigation related to disability and special education, in criminal justice textbooks.
