The cognitive abilities of the participants were also assessed.Findings: Participants in the ASD group scored significantly lower than the control group on the measure of FTP. Specifically, the ASD group scored lower on questions relating to the procedures and processes of the courtroom.Research Implications: Future research using a larger ASD sample and comparisons to a nonforensic ASD sample is recommended to confirm and extend these findings, and further the development of appropriate supporting measures.Practical Implications: The current finding that individuals with ASD have a poorer understanding of the courtroom process than individuals without ASD suggests the need to support and implement special measures with this client group.Originality: This article introduces a standardized measure of FTP for use with individuals with ASD, which has not previously been available.","PeriodicalId":89973,"journal":{"name":"Journal of forensic psychology practice","volume":"42 1","pages":"182 - 197"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15228932.2016.1177285","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59841420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effects of the child’s age and use of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Investigative Protocol were controlled for, in order to focus on the aspects of the sexual abuse and disclosure variables. Of the 116 investigative interviews conducted with children aged from 4 to 14 years old, half followed the NICHD Protocol; the other half were conducted by the same 18 interviewers prior to their training in the NICHD protocol. Police files and interview transcripts were analyzed to collect information about the child sexual abuse characteristics, the disclosure context, and the number of CFR details. As expected, the child’s age and use of the NICHD Protocol were the two strongest predictors of the number of CFR details. Coercion (physical and verbal) as well as maternal protection following the disclosure also increased the number of CFR details. Explanations of these results and implications for further research are discussed.","PeriodicalId":89973,"journal":{"name":"Journal of forensic psychology practice","volume":"16 1","pages":"129 - 150"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15228932.2016.1172422","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59841029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Utilizing panels of three independently appointed examiners, Hawaii’s system for evaluating mentally ill defendants charged with felonies provides a naturalistic laboratory for investigating decision-making processes in examiners and judges. The study focused on competency to stand trial (CST), criminal responsibility (NGRI), and postacquittal conditional release (CR) using a methodology adopted from clinical medicine and natural sciences. The entire adjudicative process from examination to judicial determination is examined as a forensic classification model. Examiner agreement and judicial consensus for 450 forensic reports were examined to assess performance in a non–crossed-data measurement design. Reliability of psycholegal constructs (CST, NGRI, postacquittal CR) was assessed using a novel reliability estimator (Krippendorff’s alpha: KALPHA). This is the first study in the forensic mental health literature to examine interrater agreement for postacquittal conditional release decision making. Findings revealed adequate performance for CST, poor performance for CR, and marginal performance for NGRI decisions. Judges demonstrated independence in the presence of panel disagreements. Across the board, examiners demonstrated high levels of inconsistency in judgments. Factors associated with poor reliability, including task complexity, are discussed. The findings raise concerns about the overall quality of psycholegal decision making in criminal proceedings, especially in NGRI and CR determinations.","PeriodicalId":89973,"journal":{"name":"Journal of forensic psychology practice","volume":"16 1","pages":"74 - 93"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15228932.2016.1148452","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59840902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We report a Jane Doe who was admitted to a psychiatric hospital and treated for dissociative amnesia or fugue with group therapies and psychotropic medication for six months. She was referred for neuropsychological assessment to evaluate memory loss for her past and her identity. The Test of Memory Malingering and the Structured Inventory of Malingered Symptomatology suggested feigned memory deficits. The hospital eventually learned Jane Doe’s identity. She was wanted for a crime in another state, but also had a psychiatric history with several hospitalizations. When confronted, she admitted her deception. This case illustrates the importance of using formal testing and consulting the scientific literature on memory for discerning true versus feigned memory deficits. This case also points out that mentally ill defendants can malinger other disorders. We review the pertinent literature on the cognitive neuroscience of autobiographical memory, and its ability to inform forensic mental health evaluations.","PeriodicalId":89973,"journal":{"name":"Journal of forensic psychology practice","volume":"16 1","pages":"106 - 117"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15228932.2016.1142782","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59840844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Adolescent stalking is an area of research that deserves further study given findings from the adult stalking literature that suggest significant public health and legal consequences associated with these behaviors. However, very little is known about this phenomenon, its potential differentiation from adolescent dating violence and/or bullying and directions to take for future research. A comprehensive review across 5 scientific databases yielded a total of 9 peer-reviewed manuscripts incorporating varying sample sizes and adolescent populations. A synthesis of existing research suggests that adolescent stalking exists at levels at least as high as that documented among adults but appears to have some notable differences (e.g., behavioral patterns, risk factors) from stalking behaviors among adults. To date, there exists no published representative population-based study of adolescent stalking behaviors and its health and legal consequences.
