Nurses' involvement at one of the systems' points of juncture, review board (RB) hearings, has largely been left unexplored. At RB hearings, a panel of legal and healthcare professionals determines if persons unfit to stand trial (UST) or not criminally responsible on account of mental disorder (NCR) represent significant threats to the safety of the public and orders conditions aimed at keeping the community safe. The aim of this article is to present the results of a critical ethnography that explored how psychiatric and public safety discourses construct the identity of persons UST or NCR during RB hearings as well as nurses' contribution to such identity construction. The main finding is that the forensic psychiatric structure leverages nursing interventions and documentation as evidence of deviancy, so that persons UST or NCR can be objectified and produced as dangerous. Structures sustaining the forensic psychiatric system inscribe nursing care within a disciplinary scheme, rendering the care-and-custody dichotomy insufficient to explain the complex processes at play in forensic psychiatry. These findings have implications for the practice of nurses working in forensic psychiatric settings and for that of other nurses who practice on the medicolegal borderland.</p>","PeriodicalId":51324,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forensic Nursing","volume":"19 1","pages":"21-29"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10755833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
