Maras, K., Mulcahy, S. and Crane, L. (2015). Editorial: Is autism linked to criminality?

Quote:
The journal, Autism, enjoys a wide readership that extends far beyond academia. We set out here, for the benefit of the whole readership, to debunk the myth that autism causes criminal behaviour . We review the little research on this topic and describe how easily negative stereotypes can be reinforced by press reports.
