This edited collection provides an interdisciplinary and
cross-national perspective on safeguarding the quality of forensic
assessment in sentencing offenders. Taking an in-depth look at
seven different Western countries, each chapter provides an
overview of the role of assessment in sentencing offenders, as well
as a focus on formal ways in which the respective country's legal
system and disciplinary associations protect the quality of
forensic assessment. Each chapter explores how to assure better
decision making in individual cases based on assessments of
psycholegal concepts such as mental disorder/insanity, criminal
responsibility and dangerousness. Combining the perspectives of
lawyers, legal scholars, and clinicians working in the field, this
book is essential for those working in and with forensic
assessment.
