Justice professionals may lack experience and accurate knowledge about I\/DD, leading to misidentification of disability, a heightened risk of false confessions, inaccurate assumptions about competency and credibility, inappropriate placement in institutions, and the unknowing waivers of rights.<\/p>\n<p>Individuals with disabilities are valuable, and they have the right to access justice. They should not experience discrimination or mistreatment in any justice system. They should also have meaningful access to criminal justice services and programs. People with disabilities should be treated with respect and dignity, regardless of criminal justice involvement or any other status or identity.<\/p>\n<p>Read The Arc\u2019s <a href=\"#\">position statement on criminal justice<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-sdz1t3-10b62ab12a16cf395a39b26618fb708a\">\n.flex_cell.av-sdz1t3-10b62ab12a16cf395a39b26618fb708a{\nvertical-align:middle;\nbackground-color:#fafbfc;\n}\n.responsive #top #wrap_all .flex_cell.av-sdz1t3-10b62ab12a16cf395a39b26618fb708a{\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px !important;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_cell av-sdz1t3-10b62ab12a16cf395a39b26618fb708a av-gridrow-cell av_one_half no_margin  avia-builder-el-17  el_after_av_cell_one_half  avia-builder-el-last  right_image_order image_alignment content-align-middle av-zero-padding'  ><div class='flex_cell_inner'>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-jqd5bs8k-a5922ba9ca8a6b606128a2f05694401e\">\n.avia-image-container.av-jqd5bs8k-a5922ba9ca8a6b606128a2f05694401e img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-jqd5bs8k-a5922ba9ca8a6b606128a2f05694401e .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-jqd5bs8k-a5922ba9ca8a6b606128a2f05694401e av-styling- avia-align-  avia-builder-el-18  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-57542 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-57542 avia_image ' src='https:\/\/cwsdemo.thearc.org\/thearc-v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/09\/3-Why-it-Matters2.jpg' alt='Police officer making an arrest, escorting a young man in handcuffs toward the back seat of his police car, at night.' title=''  height=\"841\" width=\"959\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kql3ltxm-adf3e1788f4ea0907b9767833a7c3025\">\n.avia-section.av-kql3ltxm-adf3e1788f4ea0907b9767833a7c3025{\nbackground-color:#fdcc09;\nbackground-image:unset;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div id='av_section_2'  class='avia-section av-kql3ltxm-adf3e1788f4ea0907b9767833a7c3025 main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-19  el_after_av_layout_row  el_before_av_section  email_updates_section avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-3710'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-7obccm-2fc31d396c4ff20100c025369b34389d\">\n.flex_column.av-7obccm-2fc31d396c4ff20100c025369b34389d{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-7obccm-2fc31d396c4ff20100c025369b34389d av_one_half  avia-builder-el-20  el_before_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-first  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-5nyymu-dd9f26870a6df79e93009d66cdac463a '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;
