Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anger management training is designed to help individuals recognize signs of anger and learn coping mechanisms to handle their emotions constructively. For intellectually disabled offenders, such training is tailored to their specific needs, making it effective in reducing not only self-reported and observed anger and aggression but also in decreasing actual physical manifestations of anger, such as incidents of assault. This is because the training provides them with strategies to manage their anger more effectively, leading to better emotional regulation and reduced aggressive behavior.
