  • Venirepersons’s Attitudes Toward the Insanity Defense: Developing, Refining, and Validating a Scale
    Law and Human Behavior, 2004
    Co-Authors: Jennifer L. Skeem, Jennifer Eno Louden, Jennee Evans
    Abstract:

    Given the prevalence and predictive strength of negative attitudes toward the Insanity Defense, we conducted three studies with 426 venirepersons to develop an understanding and a measure of public attitudes toward the Insanity Defense. In these studies, we developed, iteratively refined, and cross-validated the Insanity Defense attitude-revised (IDA-R) scale. The results suggest that IDAs are underpinned by one’s degree of (a) orientation toward strict liability , and (b) concern about perceived injustice and danger associated with the Defense. The IDA-R assesses these two-dimensions with good internal consistency, convergent and divergent validity, and predictive utility. The IDA-R’s predictive utility generalizes across jurisdictions and manipulation of case facts. Theoretical and practical implications for research and for identifying impartial jurors at voir dire are discussed.

  • Empirical research on the Insanity Defense and attempted reforms: evidence toward informed policy.
    Law and human behavior, 1999
    Co-Authors: Randy Borum, Solomon M. Fulero
    Abstract:

    This paper addresses some common questions about the Insanity Defense and issues raised by commonly proposed "reforms." The first section begins with a brief description of the Insanity Defense and the reasons for its existence in the law. It then examines some of the popular myths and public misperceptions surrounding the Insanity Defense. The next three sections discuss proposed "reforms" and the empirical research that addresses their effect. These reforms, including various procedural changes in definitions, burden of proof, and expert testimony, the institution of a guilty but mentally ill verdict, and the abolition of the Insanity Defense itself, are reviewed, along with relevant research findings and policy issues. Finally, the development of sound conditional release programs for criminal defendants found not guilty by reason of Insanity is proposed as a reform option which could serve the objectives of enhancing public safety and access to appropriate treatment while continuing to meet the objectives of the Insanity Defense within criminal jurisprudence.
