Law that governs sexual offences must strike a balance between respecting adult's sexual lives and protecting those who are vulnerable to sexual abuse. This issue arises, among others, for autistic people, as one group identified with this vulnerability. There are various concerns about how this balance is achieved by relevant law in England and Wales, particularly regarding the role played by the assessment of capacities for understanding, currently required for sexual consent. The PhD will examine this issue, with reference to philosophy, human rights and the views of people with lived experience, with the aim of contributing to law-reform.

规管性犯罪的法律必须在尊重成年人的性生活和保护易受性侵犯的人之间取得平衡。这个问题出现在自闭症患者身上，作为一个被认为具有这种脆弱性的群体。关于英格兰和威尔士的相关法律如何实现这种平衡，特别是关于目前性同意所需要的理解能力评估所起的作用，存在各种关切。博士将结合哲学、人权和有实际经验的人的观点来研究这个问题，目的是为法律改革作出贡献。
