摘要

在这项研究中,我们调查了在加拿大法医心理健康服务中使用替代方法完成法院命令的出庭评估的潜在益处。利用档案信息、法院数据库和经济分析,我们在2013年至2017年的96名被告样本中比较了基于医院的评估模型和法院诊所模型。结果显示,法院门诊组法医报告完成时间明显缩短,但在刑事案件处理时间上各组间无差异。与以医院为基础的模式(7.7%)相比,法院诊所组被认为不适合接受审判的被告比例(25.9%)更高。报告质量在各组之间有所不同,法医评估报告在法庭诊所模式中更多地引用精神障碍和相关判例法。经济分析表明,在法庭而不是医院完成评估可显著节省费用。我们的研究结果表明,利用基于社区的法医评估模型,法医精神卫生系统有几个好处。

Evaluating an Expedited Process to Assess Fitness to Stand Trial in Canada
Abstract In this study, we investigated the potential benefits of using an alternative approach for completing court ordered fitness to stand trial assessments in a Canadian forensic mental health service. Using file information, court databases, and an economic analysis, we compared a hospital-based model of evaluation to a court clinic model in a sample of 96 accused persons from 2013 to 2017. Results revealed a significantly shorter time period for forensic report completion in the court clinic group, but no difference in criminal case processing time between groups. There was a higher rate of accused persons opined to be unfit to stand trial in the court clinic group (25.9%) compared to the hospital-based model (7.7%). Report quality varied somewhat between groups, with forensic assessment reports citing mental disorder and relevant case law more often in the court clinic model. Economic analyses indicated there was a marked cost savings associated with completing assessments at court instead of hospital. Our findings suggest there are several benefits for forensic mental health systems in utilizing community-based models of forensic evaluation.
