abstract="Of 135 intellectually disabled rape survivors who were given forensic psychological examinations, 82.2% perceived the perpetrators' actions as wrong, 2 (1.5%) did not think it was wrong, and 22 (16.3%) could not articulate if it was wrong or not. 52.6% cited personal nonconsent as the reason for believing it was wrong, 11.1% cited the pain or injury suffered, 8.9% perceived the act as a broader moral wrong, and 27.4% could not elucidate reasons or did not think it was wrong. 76.3% wanted the perpetrators to be imprisoned, while 23.7% were unable to formulate an opinion on consequences for the perpetrator. The results contribute to a fuller understanding of intellectually disabled rape survivors' perceptions of the criminal act and their rights to demand justice.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
