The Legacies of Institutionalisation: Disability, Law and Policy in the ‘Deinstitutionalised’ Community

Editors: Claire Spivakovsky, Linda Steele, Penelope Weller

2020 , 272 , ISBN: 9781509930746 (EPUB), 9781509930739 (HB), 9781509930753 (PDF Ebook)

This is the first collection to examine the legal dynamics of deinstitutionalisation. It considers the extent to which some contemporary laws, policies and practices affecting people with disabilities are moving towards the promised end point of enhanced social and political participation in the community, while others may instead reinstate, continue or legitimate historical practices associated with this population's institutionalisation.
