This story by Justin Freiman at HLN has some food for thought for persons concerned about disparate impact of government policies:

Violent crime hits people with disabilities more than twice as often as people without disabilities, according to a study just released by the Bureau of Justice Statistics.

The federal study shows that in 2013, the rate of violent crime against persons with disabilities was 36 per 1,000. The rate of violent crime against persons without disabilities in 2013 was 14 per 1,000.

As we have noted many times on this blog, getting tough on crime was a major factor in the dramatic reduction of crime during the 1990's and 2000's, and those who have forgotten history and seek to repeat it put all of us in danger.  But they put persons with disabilities in even greater danger.
