A CROSS-NATIONAL COMPARATIVE STUDY ON FORENSIC PSYCHIATRIC EVALUATION IN SWITZERLAND AND ITALY.

— STAFF

A reader gets useful orientation to how a neighbouring jurisdiction structures responsibility assessment and risk evaluation, which is worth knowing for cross-border and comparative work, but nothing here changes what a practitioner must do or what they can defensibly assert in a report. The paper's own conclusion is that the comparative research still needs to be done.
