Stand Your Ground: New Challenges for Forensic Psychologists, Part Five
Category: General
Posted by: Chris P
Evolving from English Common Law, the Castle Doctrine has expanded to the Stand Your Ground Doctrine, providing immunity from prosecution for Floridians defending themselves, including by the use of deadly force, from presumed criminal attack. The new law places the onus with law enforcers for evaluating the nexus between reasonable fear and deadly force. Forensic scientists are challenged to provide assessment tools proven to be germane, definitive, and quantifiable to assist law enforcers with the accurate determination of authentic and reasonable fear. From the Fall 2006 Forensic Examiner; written by Patricia Wallace, PhD.

Tracking Stalkers, Part Five
Category: General
Posted by: Chris P
Although it is a problem as old as human society, stalking has only been deemed a crime since 1990 when California enacted the nation’s first anti-stalking law. Since then, all states, the District of Columbia, and the federal government have passed laws defining and prohibiting stalking (Miller, 2001). From the Winter 2006 Forensic Examiner; written by Bruce Gross, PhD.
