Why we break the law and relapse: Exploring the societal factor-recidivism nexus among selected inmates in a custodial center Journal of Forensic Psychology Research and Practice (IF 0.915) Pub Date : 2023-09-05 Macpherson Uchenna Nnam, Obinne Obiefuna, Onyekachi Eni, Emmanuel Ugochukwu Nwakanma, Peter Offu, James E Effiong, Groupson-Paul Okechukwu, Mary Sorochi Otu
ABSTRACT Despite consistent literature supporting recidivism, data-based studies that explore the societal factor-recidivism nexus are essentially of Western sources, so only little empirical evidence linking the two variables exists in Nigeria. A cross-section of 38 recidivists were recruited using purposive and snowballing techniques. Thematic method was used to analyze the interview data. Different

Opening the Black Box of Judicial Decision-Making in Cases with Forensic Mental Health Reports: A Qualitative Study from the Netherlands Journal of Forensic Psychology Research and Practice (IF 0.915) Pub Date : 2023-08-28 Roosmarijn M.S. van Es, Janne van Doorn, Maarten J.J. Kunst, Jan W. de Keijser
ABSTRACT Forensic mental health reports (FMHRs) can be informative regarding criminal responsibility, risk assessment, and treatment options, but are formally irrelevant for decisions about guilt (in terms of actus reus). In the Netherlands, a criminal trial is not bifurcated into a guilt and sentencing phase. Consequently, the court has the FMHR in the case file before the trial starts. Important

ABSTRACT Reactive criminal thinking (RCT) represents the impulsive, irrational, and emotional aspects of antisocial cognition.

Field Reliability of Forensic Mental Health Evaluations of Offenders for Post-Prison Civil Commitment Journal of Forensic Psychology Research and Practice (IF 0.915) Pub Date : 2023-08-20 Trayci A. Dahl, Melinda DiCiro, Emily Ziegler, Sean Sterling
ABSTRACT This study examined the field reliability of forensic mental health examiners’ opinions in pre-parole evaluations. The California Offenders with Mental Health Disorders (OMD) statute allows for the post-incarceration commitment to a state hospital for treatment as a condition of parole.

ABSTRACT Focusing on sadism, we investigated motive dispositions in psychopathy. In a non-clinical sample (N=101) we employed a novel, multimethod design (self-reports and Facial Electromyography [fEMG]) to assess automatic affective reactions (indexing motive dispositions) to affiliative, antagonistic, and sadistic images. Individuals low in psychopathy, resembling universal human tendencies, reacted

Strachan, Heather Green, Naomi Goldstein
ABSTRACT Although adolescents’ understanding and appreciation of Miranda rights have been examined with community youth and youth in the legal system, Miranda waiver capacities have not been compared between these populations, a comparison critical to elucidating relationships between rights comprehension, age, and IQ.

A Natural Experiment Design Testing the Effectiveness of the IOP-29 and IOP-M in Assessing the Credibility of Reported PTSD Symptoms in Belgium Journal of Forensic Psychology Research and Practice (IF 0.915) Pub Date : 2023-04-18 Adélaïde Blavier, Alice Palma, Donald J. Viglione, Alessandro Zennaro, Luciano Giromini
ABSTRACT Sometimes forensic psychologists are asked to determine whether the symptoms of PTSD presented by the plaintiff are genuine or feigned. To this end, they may use both symptom validity tests (SVTs) and performance validity tests (PVTs), but SVTs are used far more frequently in these assessments. Thus, we conducted a natural experiment and administered an SVT (i.e., the IOP-29) and a PVT (i

ABSTRACT This study introduced a novel laboratory false confession paradigm to research on true and false confession. Participants were 91 undergraduates who were given the opportunity to cheat on a research task. All were ultimately accused of cheating. Of participants innocent of cheating, 17.9% confessed.

The Influence of False Evidence Ploy Variants on Perceptions of Coercion and Deception Journal of Forensic Psychology Research and Practice (IF 0.915) Pub Date : 2023-02-16 Bryan Barnes, Bryan Myers, Richard Pond, Kori Meyer
ABSTRACT During custodial interrogations, law enforcement officers are permitted to use various methods of deception to entice a suspect to give a confession. Two of these commonly used methods include the False Evidence Ploy (FEP), and its less deceptive variant, the bluff tactic. While the bluff may appear to be less deceptive than the FEP, it also influences innocent suspects to confess. In the

Morris, Eleanor Sadler, Samantha MacMillan, Samuel Trowell, Amy Legister
ABSTRACT Secure mental healthcare staff provide care in the context of exposure to violence and restrictive practices.

ABSTRACT Litigious paranoia is a mental disorder that includes morbid litigants who are in overwhelming pursuit of justice for a perceived legal wrong. There is substantial socio-occupational dysfunction in these individuals over years. This pathological fixation can result in marked aggression. However, no separate nosological status has been given to this type of mental disorder. Moreover, the close

Emotional Rapid Response Impulsivity in Incarcerated Men and Non-Incarcerated Controls Journal of Forensic Psychology Research and Practice (IF 0.915) Pub Date : 2022-11-01 Jochem M. Jansen, Anouk Q. Bosma, Hanneke Palmen
ABSTRACT So far, few studies have assessed emotional rapid response impulsivity (RRI) in incarcerated men. Available studies use varying methodological approaches and show mixed results, but incarcerated individuals are more likely to be impaired by emotional RRI. None of these studies, however, reported on any correlational or regression analysis assessing whether emotional RRI was linearly related

Feedback in forensic mental health assessment Journal of Forensic Psychology Research and Practice (IF 0.915) Pub Date : 2022-09-18 Stanley L. Brodsky, Julie Goldenson
ABSTRACT The provision of feedback in forensic mental health assessment has received little attention. The scant research literature suggests that giving feedback is not only infrequent among forensic mental health examiners, but in some circumstances, it is considered inappropriate. This paper puts forth some of the challenges related to the provision of feedback in the context of forensic mental

ABSTRACT Psychopathy is found to be associated with aggression. However, the role of “understanding the mental states of others” in this relation is not clearly understood yet. The current study aimed to increase our understanding of a specific ability of understanding the mental state of others, namely recognizing a faux pas, and understand the relation of this “social misstep” in self-reported aggressive

Sexual Offending: The impact of the juxtaposition between social constructions and evidence-based approaches Journal of Forensic Psychology Research and Practice (IF 0.915) Pub Date : 2022-04-21 Melanie Dawn Douglass, Susan Hillyard, Anna Macklin
ABSTRACT “Criminals,” particularly sex offenders, are thought of as an indistinguishable, homogenous group by society, despite the variety of offenses they commit, with differing levels of severity, impact, and outcome. Perceptions of criminal behavior also fail to recognize that everyone engages in norm-violating/unlawful/immoral behavior at one time or another. This view of offending, that it is

ABSTRACT Violence risk assessment and management is central to the lives of forensic mental health service users. Whilst studies have explored mental health professionals’ experiences of violence risk assessment and management, research regarding service user views is largely absent from the literature. Using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, the current study interviewed seven forensic mental
