Latent profiles of psychopathology among Hispanic/Latine immigrants involved in immigration proceedings.
Evaluator Disagreement about the Association between Psychopathy Checklist-Revised Scores and Risk for Future Sexual Violence
It is common for forensic evaluators to use assessment instruments in risk assessment evaluations. This study examines whether different evaluators use instrument results the same way when coming to conclusions about risk for sexual recidivism in Sexually Violent Predator (SVP) evaluations. Three evaluators who each used both the Static-99R and Psychopathy Checklist-Revised in more than 60 SVP evaluations (Total N = 338) provided data for the stu…
Do risk measure scores and diagnoses predict evaluator opinions in sexually violent predator cases? It depends on the evaluator
OBJECTIVE: Field research increasingly reveals that forensic evaluators are not interchangeable. Instead, they tend to differ in their patterns of forensic opinions, in ways that likely reflect something about themselves, not just the persons evaluated. This study used data from sexually violent predator (SVP) evaluations to examine whether evaluator differences in making intermediate decisions (e.g., instrument scoring, assigning diagnoses) migh…

Evaluator empathy in risk assessment interviews
OBJECTIVE: Should forensic evaluators convey empathy during forensic assessments? Opponents contend that empathy causes harm by leading evaluees to disclose potentially incriminating information, but proponents hold that empathy is crucial for establishing rapport and conveying respect. This study provides a comprehensive examination of experienced forensic evaluators' use of empathy in forensic assessment. HYPOTHESES: The study was exploratory a…
Static-99R
Generalizability of Psychopathy Network Analysis Findings to Scores Assigned to Individuals Convicted of a Sex Offense
Despite being well-researched, the conceptualization of psychopathy incites much debate within the field. Results from network analysis can inform these debates by graphically and quantitatively depicting the core characteristics of the construct of psychopathy. Existing network studies with Psychopathy Checklist—Revised (PCL-R) scores suggest the affective traits are most central to the construct of psychopathy, but more studies are needed. The …

The Effect of Unpreparedness for Immigration Court on Psychopathology
Adversarial Allegiance among Expert Witnesses
Can experts remain objective and accurate when one particular side in adversarial legal proceedings retains them? Despite long-standing concerns from the legal system and the general public, research has only recently explored whether experts can provide opinions unbiased by the side that retained them. This review addresses some of the factors that may cause disagreements between opposing experts. After summarizing recent field and experimental …
Do scores from risk measures matter to jurors
Differentiated Styles of Attachment to God and Varying Religious Coping Efforts
The Attachment to God Inventory (AGI) and Religious Coping Activities Scale (RCAS) were given to 159 church-going adults. A median split using AGI Avoidance and Anxiety scales divided participants into Secure (24.46%), Dismissing (20.14%), Preoccupied (25.18%), and Fearful (30.22%) styles. These four groups were analyzed in relation to the six scales of the RCAS. Results indicated that Secure and Preoccupied used more Christian activities and ide…
Field validity of the STATIC-99 and MnSost-R among sex offenders evaluated for civil commitment as sexually violent predators
Do some evaluators report consistently higher or lower PCL-R scores than others? Findings from a statewide sample of sexually violent predator evaluations
This study examined whether some evaluators tend to report consistently higher or lower scores than other evaluators for offenders on the Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R; R. D. Hare, 1991, 2003). Data for the study were PCL-R total scores for 321 sex offenders, evaluated by 1 or more of 20 different state-contracted evaluators, during a process of screening for civil commitment as sexually violent predators. More than 30% of the variability …
Clinician variation in findings of competence to stand trial
Are some forensic evaluators more likely than others to find criminal defendants incompetent to stand trial (IST)? Although studies report aggregate IST rates of around 20% across large samples of criminal defendants, these aggregate rates tell us little about the patterns of findings among individual evaluators. This study uses 2 statewide samples to present the first available data addressing how individual clinicians vary in rates of IST opini…
The Last Competency
Psychological-legal aspects of competency for execution (CFE) were reviewed with respect to legal issues, ethical concerns, and assessment issues, and were then followed by ten practice recommendations. The legal issues addressed included the implications of Ford v. Wainwright and the applications of the one-prong cognitive criterion and the two-prong criterion that included the capacity to understand and communicate reasons that the sentence mig…
