Abstract
A person with special needs is simply a member of society who has been afflicted with a deficiency that reduces his ability to fully perform his social, economic and political duties, just as a normal person would. Therefore, if a person with special needs is exposed to and commits a crime, he needs special procedures that are compatible with his health, psychological and mental condition. He also requires alternative means in most stages of the lawsuit that are compatible with his condition and interests.
