Abstract

This article focuses on a new study examining the assessment, monitoring, and policies related to individuals found not guilty by reason of insanity (NGRI) in the United States. The research, originating from Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut, highlights significant variation in state practices, particularly regarding Psychiatric Security Review Boards (PSRBs) in states such as Arizona, Connecticut, Oregon, and Washington. It addresses challenges in comparing these practices due to differing policies, stakeholder interests, and public perceptions influenced by high-profile cases. The study provides a review of past and current approaches to managing NGRI acquittees and has been peer-reviewed. [Extracted from the article]
