Because interviews are presented as evidence in trials, an important consideration is whether seeing interview rapport affects juror perceptions. We addressed this by examining how rapport, child age and participants' gender affect perceptions of a child witness and defendant guilt. Participants (N=478, M=36.6 years, SD=12.3, 47% female), recruited via Prolific, read a forensic interview transcript of a child's disclosing sexual abuse that varied interviewer rapport (high, moderate, minimal) and child age (5, 9, 13 years). Participants in the high rapport condition rated the child as more credible and felt more positively about the interviewer, and the 5-year-old was perceived most favourably. Overall, positive effects of rapport building extend beyond their influence on children's accounts. Presenting rapport building to jurors may help bolster a child's credibility, though other factors (e.g., child age) remain important.","PeriodicalId":51553,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatry Psychology and Law","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13132509/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147823480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current paper introduces Stand Strong, Walk Tall (SSWT), a therapeutic secondary prevention programme designed for adults who experience sexual attraction towards children, with an explicit dual focus on enhancing client wellbeing alongside prevention. Here we describe SSWT's intervention framework, comprising theoretical underpinnings, research-informed targeted needs and intervention philosophy. We further provide an overview of the programme design including protocols for referral and assessment, service parameters such as duration and frequency of client contact, and programme process and content. Therapeutic secondary prevention approaches such as SSWT offer an important addition to comprehensive strategies for addressing child sexual abuse and should be considered by jurisdictions worldwide.","PeriodicalId":51553,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatry Psychology and Law","volume":"33 2","pages":"443-465"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12997469/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147488330","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, community psychologists may assist with mental capacity assessments within downstream community settings, leveraging on rapport building skills and interdisciplinary collaboration to enhance existing medicolegal processes. Overall, the expertise, experience and orientation of community psychologists underpins their ability to provide competent mental capacity assessments in accordance with guidelines set out by the statutory principles and guidelines.

This paper aimed to describe self-reported borderline personality symptoms within a South Australian offender cohort attending rehabilitation programmes in the prison or community. A retrospective audit of N = 576 offender records was undertaken between February 2021 and August 2023. Offenders routinely completed the McLean Screening Instrument for Borderline Personality Disorder on entry to rehabilitation programmes. Respondents who endorsed 7 or more items on this screener were categorised into a 'high borderline symptom' group and compared across key demographics. The sample was predominantly men (n = 546) with 33% categorised into the 'high borderline symptoms' group, compared to 20% of women assessed (n = 30). Findings suggest high rates of borderline personality symptoms amongst this cohort, which has implications for engagement in rehabilitation programmes, staff training and education, and opportunities for reducing recidivism.","PeriodicalId":51553,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatry Psychology and Law","volume":"33 2","pages":"466-478"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12997462/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147488300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, the study aimed to determine whether using the Family Environment Scale (FES) could differentiate between individual, familial and offence characteristics of those who had sibling victims and those with non-sibling victims, and whether using this tool might aid clinical practice. Results indicated that sibling offending AHSBs experienced significantly greater current familial conflict than non-sibling offending AHSBs. No statistically significant differences between groups were present with respect to offence characteristics, victimisation histories and family functioning. These findings indicate that psychological intervention for harmful sexual behaviour between siblings should include assessment of familial conflict and that psychological intervention for this behaviour may constitute a wider focus beyond the sexually harmful behaviour itself.","PeriodicalId":51553,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatry Psychology and Law","volume":"33 2","pages":"352-368"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12997463/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147488027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study evaluates the German IOP-29 and fills a gap by replicating a study of Akca, Tepedelen, et al. We analysed 384 IOP-29 protocols from 128 German-speaking adults (range = 18-87 years) under three conditions: honest, random and feigned responses (post-traumatic stress disorder, PTSD; depression; schizophrenia). Statistical analyses showed that the False Disorder Probability Score (FDS) effectively discriminated between honest and feigned responses (Hedges g = 3.90), with a sensitivity of .91 and a specificity of .95 at an FDS cut-off value of ≥.50. A new index for detecting careless or random responses also showed promising results. This study confirms the utility of the IOP-29 in the German-speaking population and supports its cross-cultural applicability.","PeriodicalId":51553,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatry Psychology and Law","volume":"33 1","pages":"125-138"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12857672/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146108365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
