Forensic mental health assessment (FMHA) has grown into a
specialization informed by research and professional guidelines.
This series presents up-to-date information on the most important
and frequently conducted forms of FMHA. The 19 topical volumes
address best approaches to practice for particular types of
evaluation in the criminal, civil and juvenile/family areas. Each
volume contains a thorough discussion of the relevant legal and
psychological concepts, followed by a step-by-step description of
the assessment process from preparing for the evaluation to writing
the report and testifying in court.
Volumes include the following helpful features:
- Boxes that zero in on important information for use in
evaluations
- Tips for best practice and cautions against common pitfalls
- Highlighting of relevant case law and statutes
- Separate list of assessment tools for easy reference
- Helpful glossary of key terms for the particular topic
In making recommendations for best practice, authors consider
empirical support, legal relevance, and consistency with ethical
and professional standards. These volumes offer invaluable guidance
for anyone involved in conducting or using forensic evaluations.
Jury selection is the process by which attorneys remove people from
the jury pool whom they judge to be undesirable, presumably because
they fear that the potential juror would be biased against their
side. In Jury Selection, Kovera and Cutler review the law governing
attorneys' decisions to remove potential jurors from jury service,
including laws prohibiting the systematic removal of particular
categories of people from the jury. The book provides an overview
of standardized tools for assessing personality traits and
attitudes that may be related to jurors' verdicts as well as the
research establishing the validity of these measures. The authors
review the studies that evaluate the effectiveness of both
traditional and scientific methods of jury selection, including the
methods used to conduct a community survey to guide a change of
venue motion and the selection of potential jurors to excuse.
Kovera and Cutler also discuss the ethical principles to be
followed when assisting attorneys with jury selection issues.
