“…Bjerregaard et al (2010) reported that alcohol related mitigating factors had no impact on the outcomes of North Carolina capital murder trials, whereas drug related factors were associated with an increased risk of a death sentence. Given the high rate of comorbidity of mental health disorders among capital defendants (Salekin et al, 2010;Sevilla, 1999), the inconsistency in juror valuation of discrete types of psychological evidence may pose a particularly serious dilemma in valuating multiple pieces of psychological evidence from a given defendant. These inconsistences also raise somber policy-based concerns related to the ways in which psychological factors are operationalized in the policies and procedures that guide the adjudication process.…”

“…Over the past 30 years, there have been important changes in services for people with ID, in the degree to which challenging behaviours of people with ID lead to criminal prosecution, and the prevalence of people with ID at different stages in the criminal justice system (for a recent review, see Salekin et al, 2010;Fazel, Xenitidis, & Powell, 2008). Importantly, the scientific literatures on (1) criminal offending of persons with ID in the general population; (2) challenging behaviours, particularly aggressive behaviour towards others, which are not necessarily criminalised, of persons with ID (usually from ID services) and (3) persons with ID in the criminal justice system are not fully integrated.…”

“…Subsequent research sought to gain insight on those defendants who are not likely to be restored to competence. Findings suggested that intellectual disabilities, 42,112,113 and more severe pathology (eg, schizophrenia spectrum disorder) [114][115][116] were related to poor restoration outcomes. Hubbard and Zapf 117 explored variables related to clinicians' opinions regarding restorability and found no particular set of variables that produced a high classification rate or that served as reliable predictors of restorability.…”
