1:15 - 3:15 Juvenile Competency
This workshop will focus on the nuts and bolts of juvenile competency evaluations. We will begin with a review of statutory requirements, and then discuss the scientific literature on youth in the juvenile justice system from a mental health point of view. We will “pull back the curtain” on exactly how forensic evaluators assess juvenile competency, and in doing so will highlight information that you should expect to see in reports. We will then turn to the emerging literature on juvenile competency attainment. Time permitting, we will present some case scenarios to demonstrate the complexities with which forensic evaluators commonly grapple when doing juvenile competency evaluations.
