  • Court-reported competence to proceed data across the United States

    Lauren E Kois, Haley Potts et al.ARTICLELaw and Human Behavior2024

    OBJECTIVE: Competence to proceed (CTP) is a constitutional protection intended to facilitate fairness and dignity of court proceedings. Researchers have estimated that between 60,000 and 94,000 defendants are evaluated for CTP each year. Yet no research has systematically identified the number of evaluations conducted each year, despite their critical role and many profound implications. We used large-scale, systematic data collection to address …

  • The MacCAT-CA and the ECST-R in Competency to Stand Trial Evaluations

    Jaime L Anderson, Jake Plantz et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality Assessment2022

    There is debate regarding the utility of standardized instruments in the assessment of competence to stand trial (CST). Though the field generally has a positive view of the second-generation nomothetic instruments available, the frequency of use falls far behind this favorable impression. The current paper reviewed two standardized instruments used in CST evaluations, the Evaluation of Competency to Stand Trial - Revised (ECST-R) and the MacArth…

  • A meta-analytic review of competency to stand trial research

    Gianni Pirelli, William H Gottdiener et al.ARTICLEPsychology Public Policy and Law2011

    The present study is a meta-analysis of competency to stand trial research. One meta-analysis was previously conducted in this area, but the large number of empirical studies that have been conducted since and the introduction of new instruments and revision of old instruments warranted updating and expanding upon the previously conducted study via contemporary meta-analytic methods. We metaanalyzed 68 studies published between 1967 and 2008 that…

  • Clinician variation in findings of competence to stand trial

    Daniel C Murrie, Marcus T Boccaccini et al.ARTICLEPsychology Public Policy and Law2008Cited by: 7

    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

    Stanley L Brodsky, Patricia A Zapf et al.ARTICLEJournal of Forensic Psychology…2001

    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…
