“Targeted crime towards disabled people – what lessons can we.doc
Tackling violence against women – lessons for efforts to tackle targeted violence against disabled people
Abstract
Efforts at tackling targeted violence against disabled people may benefit from lessons generated from the longer-standing work in tackling violence against women. These include the conceptualisation and articulation of targeted violence as a cause and consequence of inequality, and as a human rights issue.

Costing British society ￡40 billion every year (J?rvinen et al, 2008), and costing many women their safety, security, health and in some cases, their life, violence against women is endemic and remains under-recognised. The cost to society as a result of violence against women is more than the government spending per year on
