Fitness to stand trial (FST) is an important safeguard for ensuring fair trial processes. This retrospective chart review examined the demographic, clinical, and legal profiles of 159 court-referred individuals assessed for FST at a major tertiary forensic psychiatry centre in New Delhi (India) between January 2017 and December 2022. Data on sociodemographic variables, ICD-10 diagnoses, current mental status, alleged offences, and FST outcomes were analysed using chi-square/Fisher's exact tests and multivariate logistic regression. The sample was predominantly male (81.1%) with a mean age of 37.9 years (SD 14.2). Psychotic disorders were the most frequent diagnosis (35.2%), followed by bipolar affective disorder and intellectual disability. Violent offences constituted 62.9% of alleged crimes. Overall, 54.7% were found fit to stand trial. Active psychiatric symptoms (adjusted OR 47.2, 95% CI 6.1-365.3) and organic mental disorder or intellectual disability (adjusted OR 22.5, 95% CI 4.8-105.6) independently predicted unfitness. Active psychopathology and cognitive impairment were the strongest determinants of unfitness, highlighting the need for structured assessment tools and restoration programmes under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita 2023.","PeriodicalId":47926,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Sciences & the Law","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148593951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although parent–child communication has been theorized to reduce adolescents' involvement in these behaviors, empirical evidence remains mixed. Teacher-student relationship quality has been proposed as a potential mediator, but evidence from cross-national studies is limited. Using data from the 2017/2018 Health Behavior in School-Aged Children (HBSC) study, this study examined a theoretical model in which teacher–student relationship quality mediates the associations of parent–child communication with bullying perpetration and substance use. Potential sex differences in these interrelationships were also examined. Results indicated that parent–child communication was negatively associated with bullying perpetration and substance use, with teacher-student relationship quality partially mediating these associations. Moreover, multi-group analyses showed that the model fit well for boys and girls. These findings underscore the significance of fostering positive parent–child communication and teacher–student relationships to reduce adolescent bullying perpetration and substance use.","PeriodicalId":47926,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Sciences & the Law","volume":"44 3","pages":"469-478"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/bsl.70056","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147469656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper develops a Developmental Retribution and Reciprocity Model (RRM), integrating evolutionary criminology with contemporary developmental neuroscience to clarify how reciprocity, retribution, and cooperation are expressed across development. Behavioural economic tasks and hypothetical crime scenarios from an adult sample (N = 300), spanning late adolescence and early adulthood, are used to examine whether age is associated with positive reciprocity, negative reciprocity, retaliatory punishment, and offending-related tendencies. Developmental theory would predict age-related differences across this period; however, no meaningful associations with age (from the age of 16 onward) were observed. The absence of age-graded variation in reciprocity and retributive responding within adulthood is consistent with the possibility that the underlying motivational structures captured by RRM stabilise earlier in development, whilst their behavioural expression continues to be shaped by regulation and context. The paper therefore emphasises the importance of focussing youth justice interventions and future research on these earlier developmental periods, where socialisation, legitimacy, and cooperative norms may be most effectively shaped.","PeriodicalId":47926,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Sciences & the Law","volume":"44 3","pages":"437-449"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/bsl.70051","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147370411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is characterised by impaired executive and adaptive functioning despite IQs often above the ID threshold, suggesting functional overlap with ID. This meta-analytic study is the first to examine whether FASD and ID share vulnerabilities in interrogative suggestibility. Two PRISMA-guided systematic searches of six databases were undertaken, and identified studies involving FASD or ID. Bayesian random-effects meta-analyses were conducted on Gudjonsson Suggestibility Scale–2 outcomes: Yield 1, Yield 2, Shift, and Total Suggestibility. Individuals with FASD showed levels of interrogative suggestibility comparable to, and sometimes exceeding, those with ID across all indices. Effect sizes were large for both groups, with particularly elevated Shift scores in individuals with FASD. Both groups are highly vulnerable to leading questions and interrogative pressure. Individuals with FASD may be especially prone to changing responses following negative feedback, highlighting important forensic interviewing implications.","PeriodicalId":47926,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Sciences & the Law","volume":"44 3","pages":"450-460"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/bsl.70052","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147379233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the public generally supports rehabilitation and less punitive sentencing for juveniles, less is known about public attitudes toward sentencing emerging adults (18-to-25-year-olds)—a population disproportionately represented in the criminal justice system. This paper analyzes data from an experimental survey with factorial vignettes administered to college students to examine emerging adult age and biopsychosocial factors on sentencing punitiveness. Chi-squared and one-way ANOVAs were employed to evaluate group differences and multinomial logistic regression to examine the effects of the randomized factors on the sentence outcomes. The biological and psychological trauma experienced by the defendant convicted of homicide in this study were mitigating factors in emerging adult sentence punitiveness. The results provide insight into potential jurors' and future criminal justice professionals' consideration of biopsychosocial information in sentencing directly impacting justice-involved emerging adults.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47926,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Sciences & the Law","volume":"44 3","pages":"361-372"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146107995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
