Download or read book Competency to Stand Trial: A Restoration Manual for Forensic Providers written by Ray S. Kim and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-01-16 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Competency to stand trial has become a major concern for the criminal justice system. As more and more people with mental illness are being arrested, jails are becoming the largest providers of mental health care in the United States. Many of these detainees are found incompetent to stand trial and cannot proceed with their court cases until restored to competency. In order to facilitate the movement of these cases through the forensic system, effective restoration programs need to be developed. By doing so, many challenging problems can be alleviated, such as overcrowding in jails, long waiting lists at forensic hospitals, and the overall cost to the public. This manual was written to provide guidelines for restoring competency to defendants in a structured and efficient manner. Practical information is presented to assist forensic providers from their patient's initial finding of incompetency to the final disposition of the case. In addition, instructional materials and other resources are provided, which include definitions of court terminology, educational activities, competency tests, court report templates, and a certificate of completion. Forensic providers are encouraged to customize the contents of this manual to comply with specific State statutes.

Book Synopsis Criminal Competency on Trial by : Mark C. Bardwell
Download or read book Criminal Competency on Trial written by Mark C. Bardwell and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Criminal Competency on Trial examines the legal standards by which one can stand trial, and the psychological instruments by which one's mental health status is assessed. Acknowledging that determinations of trial fitness represent the most significant mental health inquiry pursued in the system of criminal law today, this book carefully explains and thoroughly reviews the legal and psychological limits of competency to stand trial (CST). To highlight these limits, authors Bardwell and Arrigo systematically investigate the controversial and high profile case of Colin Ferguson. Mr. Ferguson was identified as the New York City railway killer who, following a competency finding, elected to represent himself and was found guilty of all criminal charges. The text proposes a series of clear, practical, and concise justice policy reforms, designed to improve how the CST doctrine is understood and employed by lawyers, judges, psychologists, and other forensic mental health professionals. The book concludes by demonstrating where and how these policy recommendations would substantially change the application of the CST doctrine, especially in the case of Colin Ferguson and with other high stakes defendants, including that of Theodore Kaczynski (a.k.a. the una-bomber).

Book Synopsis Crime, Punishment, and Mental Illness by : Patricia Erickson
Download or read book Crime, Punishment, and Mental Illness written by Patricia Erickson and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2008-07-18 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hundreds of thousands of the inmates who populate the nation's jails and prison systems today are identified as mentally ill. Many experts point to the deinstitutionalization of mental hospitals in the 1960s, which led to more patients living on their own, as the reason for this high rate of incarceration. But this explanation does not justify why our society has chosen to treat these people with punitive measures. In Crime, Punishment, and Mental Illness, Patricia E. Erickson and Steven K. Erickson explore how societal beliefs about free will and moral responsibility have shaped current policies and they identify the differences among the goals, ethos, and actions of the legal and health care systems. Drawing on high-profile cases, the authors provide a critical analysis of topics, including legal standards for competency, insanity versus mental illness, sex offenders, psychologically disturbed juveniles, the injury and death rates of mentally ill prisoners due to the inappropriate use of force, the high level of suicide, and the release of mentally ill individuals from jails and prisons who have received little or no treatment.

Download or read book Adjudicative Competence written by Norman G. Poythress Jr. and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-09-08 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adjudicative competence remains an important topic of research and practice in psychology and law. In the five sections of Adjudicative Competence: The MacArthur Studies, the authors present not only a summary of the research of the MacArthur studies on competence but also an examination of the underlying theoretical work of Professor Richard Bonnie. It is the first publication to encapsulate the scope and significance of both the studies themselves and Bonnie's contributions. There is no other source available that addresses this range of topics. Given its breadth and scope, this book will be a "must have" for forensic mental health professionals, an important volume for lawyers, and a vital academic reference work.
