Although research highlights the influence of individual and case characteristics on outcomes of competence to stand trial (CST), mental state at the time of the offense (MSO), and combined evaluations (CST and MSO), we know little about differences in these characteristics across referral type. Using a sample of 2,655 evaluations in Virginia over a 15-year span, we examined demographic, clinical, and legal characteristics associated with whether defense attorneys referred individuals for CST-only, MSO-only, or combined evaluations. Multinomial regression revealed that Non-White individuals and those diagnosed with psychotic disorders were more often evaluated for CST-only, relative to MSO-only or combined evaluations. Individuals with organic or developmental disorders were more often seen for CST-only or combined evaluations. Violent charges were associated with MSO evaluations, either alone or with CST. Individuals who were under the influence of a substance at the time of the offense or had a prior conviction were more likely to be seen for combined evaluations compared to CST-only evaluations. There was more differentiation in CST-only from MSO-only and combined evaluations than from MSO-only versus combined evaluations. Findings are interpreted while considering legal professionals’ potential referral motives. We discuss important implications within the context of fundamental fairness for all individuals in the criminal justice system, particularly given results on racial differences.

与辩护能力,进攻时的心理状态以及综合评估相关的国防推荐模式

尽管研究强调了个人和案例特征对胜任能力(CST),犯罪时的心理状态(MSO)以及综合评估(CST和MSO)的影响,但我们对这些特征的差异知之甚少跨推荐类型。我们使用了15年间在弗吉尼亚州进行的2,655项评估样本,我们研究了人口统计,临床和法律特征,这些特征与辩护律师是否推荐个人进行CST评估,MSO评估或综合评估有关。多项式回归显示,相对于仅MSO评估或综合评估,非白人个体和诊断出患有精神病的个体更常被评估为仅接受CST。患有器质性或发育性疾病的个体更常接受仅CST评估或综合评估。暴力指控与单独或与CST的MSO评价相关。与仅进行CST的评估相比,在犯罪时受到某种物质影响或事先定罪的个人更有可能被视为进行综合评估。仅CST与仅MSO和合并评估相比,仅CST与合并评估之间的差异更大。在考虑法律专业人士的潜在推荐动机的同时对发现进行解释。我们讨论了在刑事司法系统中对所有人而言基本公平的重要含义,特别是考虑到种族差异的结果。与仅进行CST的评估相比,在犯罪时受到某种物质影响或事先定罪的个人更有可能被视为进行综合评估。仅CST与仅MSO和合并评估相比,仅CST与合并评估之间的差异更大。在考虑法律专业人士的潜在推荐动机的同时对发现进行解释。我们讨论了在刑事司法系统中对所有人而言基本公平的重要含义,特别是考虑到种族差异的结果。与仅进行CST的评估相比,在犯罪时受到某种物质影响或事先定罪的个人更有可能被视为进行综合评估。仅CST与仅MSO和合并评估相比,仅CST与合并评估之间的差异更大。在考虑法律专业人士的潜在推荐动机的同时对发现进行解释。我们讨论了在刑事司法系统中对所有人而言基本公平的重要含义,特别是考虑到种族差异的结果。在考虑法律专业人士的潜在推荐动机的同时对发现进行解释。我们讨论了在刑事司法系统中对所有人而言基本公平的重要含义,特别是考虑到种族差异的结果。在考虑法律专业人士的潜在推荐动机的同时对发现进行解释。我们讨论了在刑事司法系统中对所有人而言基本公平的重要含义,特别是考虑到种族差异的结果。
