Abstract:
While there is growing research on criminal competencies concerning capital punishment from legal and psychological approaches, studies on competency for execution (CFE) can scarcely be found. Previous studies have primarily focused on its pertinent legal arguments, whilst little is known about the demographic, social/legal, and psychological/psychiatric variables that contribute to evaluating and determining the competency for execution. The ongoing study aims to continue constructing and analyzing the Killing the Oblivious database (Blume et al., 2014) and investigate the patterns behind the judicial decision-making process concerning the Ford/Penneti claims. Relationships among competency for execution and adjunctive competencies will be discussed.
