Mentally Ill And Non-Mentally Ill Defendants' Abilities To Understand Information Relevant To Adjudication: A Preliminary Study, Steven Hoge, Norman Poythress, Richard Bonnie, Marlene Eisenberg
Mentally Ill And Non-Mentally Ill Defendants' Abilities To Understand Information Relevant To Adjudication: A Preliminary Study, Steven Hoge, Norman Poythress, Richard Bonnie, Marlene Eisenberg
Norman Poythress
The legal construct of competence to stand trial, or “adjudicative competence,” is based on the premise that some mentally disordered defendants have impaired abilities when compared with most defendants and that adjudication should be barred if these competence-related abilities are significantly impaired. Where the line is drawn between sufficient and insufficient abilities has important consequences: as a result of being adjudicated incompetent, defendants may be detained and treated involuntarily and their trials will be delayed. However, no studies have systematically compared the capacities of relevant groups of defendants. In this studv. 84 criminal defendants—42 of whom were hospitalized as incompetent …
Trying To Have It Both Ways: Local Discretion, Central Control, And Adversarial Legalism In American Environmental Regulation, Robert Kagan
Trying To Have It Both Ways: Local Discretion, Central Control, And Adversarial Legalism In American Environmental Regulation, Robert Kagan
Robert Kagan
Compared to their counterparts abroad, US environmental regulatory regimes provide stronger rights of public participation, broader access to information concerning regulatory compliance, and easier access to the courts. These national differences are attributed to differences in governmental structure and in how regulatory responsibility is allocated among levels of government. The distinctive modes of fragmenting and checking governmental authority are cited to explain the characteristics of US environmental regulation: more detailed and complex legal requirements, and more protracted permitting processes. These procedural problems, it is argued, are not the inevitable consequences of federalism, but rather the desire to allow local and …

General Deterrence And Corporate Environmental Behavior, Dorothy Thornton, Neil Gunningham, Robert Kagan
Robert Kagan
This research addresses the assumption that“general deterrence” is an important key to enhanced compliance with regulatory laws. Through a survey of 233 firms in several industries in the United States, we sought to answer the following questions: (1) When severe legal penalties are imposed against a violator of environmental laws, do other companies in the same industry actually learn about such“signal cases”? (2) Does knowing about“signal cases” change firms’ compliance-related behavior? It was found that only 42 percent of respondents could identify the“signal case,” but 89 percent could identify some enforcement actions against other firms, and 63 percent of firms …

The Broward Mental Health Court: Process, Outcomes, And Service Utilization, Roger Boothroyd, Norman Poythress, Annette Christy, John Petrila
Norman Poythress
Mental health courts are one of a variety of special jurisdiction courts that have been created in a number of countries, including the United States (Petrila, 2003). While there is no prototypical mental health court (Steadman, Davidson, & Brown, 2001; Watson, Luchins, & Hanrahan, 2001), most of those in existence today share several common characteristics. These include (a) the creation of a special docket (usually, but not always, nonviolent misdemeanants with mental illness) that is (b) handled by a particular judge, with (c) a primary goal of diverting defendants from the criminal justice system and into treatment (Goldkamp & Irons-Guynn, …

Psychopathic Features In A Juvenile Diversion Population: Reliability And Predictive Validity Of Two Self-Report Measures, Diana Falkenbach, Norman Poythress, Kathleen Heide
Psychopathic Features In A Juvenile Diversion Population: Reliability And Predictive Validity Of Two Self-Report Measures, Diana Falkenbach, Norman Poythress, Kathleen Heide
Norman Poythress
The reliability and predictive validity of two experimental self-report versions of two measures of psychopathic features in youth, the Antisocial Process Screening Device (APSD: Frick & Hare, 2001) and a modified version of the Child Psychopathy Scale (CPS: Lynam, 1997) were examined in a sample of 69 arrested youth (M age¼14.4 years) referred to a juvenile diversion program. Parents or legal guardians completed parent-rating versions of the same measures. Reliability indicators for the APSD total measure were satisfactory although internal consistency indices (coefficient alpha) for the Callous/Unemotional and Impulsive/Conduct Problems scales were slightly lower than desirable. Reliability indicators for the …

Evaluation Of The Hare-Pscan In A Non-Clinical Population, Cristal Elwood, Norman Poythress, Kevin Douglas
Norman Poythress
Using 100 university undergraduates as participants, this study examined the structural reliability and construct validity of Hare and Hervé's P-SCAN (Hare & Hervé, 1999) a 90-item measure that purports to serve as an “… early warning system” or “rough screening device” (p. 1) for identifying individuals with substantial psychopathic features. Internal consistency indices (e.g. Cronbach's α, mean inter-item correlations) for the three P-SCAN subscales (Interpersonal, Affective, Lifestyle) suggested excellent reliability. Statistically significant, though modest correlations (range 0.21–0.33) were obtained in 5 of 6 comparisons with the self-report Primary psychopathy and Secondary psychopathy scales developed by Levenson, Kiehl, and Fitzpatrick (1995) …
Deliberative, Independent Technocracy V. Democratic Politics: Will The Globe Echo The E.U, Martin Shapiro
Deliberative, Independent Technocracy V. Democratic Politics: Will The Globe Echo The E.U, Martin Shapiro
Martin Shapiro
The article discusses the issue of technocracy and democracy as the structure of transnational administrative law. This article defines the building blocks of administrative law namely regulation, the tension between democratic control of public policy and the delegated legislation. When all of these building blocks are taken into account, future transnational regulatory regimes are likely to arise in relatively high-technology or otherwise complex spheres of activity.
