The Donald Beasley Institute researchers used an integrative review methodology (Whittemore & Knafl, 2005) to do their research. This method meant that they could use research, literature, films and audiorecordings. From these they could find examples of the ways that people with learning disability had been abused in State care. This report covers the period 1950 to 1992. (From the executive summary).
