Abstract
Volume I of the thesis contains the research component and is presented in the form of three papers related to deliberate firesetting by people with low intellectual functioning. The first paper is a systematic review of the literature in which the existing evidence has been critically examined to determine what is known about adults with low intellectual functioning who deliberately set fires. The second paper is an empirical research paper which utilised Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) to qualitatively explore the experiences of deliberate firesetting by seven adult men with mild intellectual disabilities detained in a secure forensic learning disability service. The third paper is a public domain briefing paper which summarises the main findings of the systematic review and empirical paper and has been produced for distribution to wider audiences and for the individuals who agreed to participate in the empirical research study.
