The analysis revealed that people with an intellectual disability are almost three times more likely than those without a disability to be victims of physical assault, sexual assault, and robbery. In addition, intellectually disabled victims scored significantly below intellectually disabled nonvictims on measures of interpersonal competence. Thus, having a disability was not the main problem. Instead, the main problem was how the person behaved and how that behavior might promote a reaction from an offender. The one characteristic that was notable was the demonstration of anger. Findings indicated the need for training related to interpersonal competence and anger management. Footnote and 6 references
