Psychology Juveniles court-related skills The current study compared the characteristics of juvenile defendants found competent to stand trial (CST) versus incompetent to stand trial (IST) at initial and second evaluation points and examined characteristics that predicted which juveniles were likely to benefit from competency attainment intervention. Using a sample of 263 juvenile defendants, results indicated that age, IQ score, grade, number of charges, number of previous adjudications, and special education were significantly correlated with CST status (CST vs. 1ST). Significant differences were found between CST and 1ST groups for all of these variables at the first evaluation, but IQ score was the only variable that significantly differed between groups at the second evaluation. The typical juvenile found 1ST at the first evaluation was younger, had a lower IQ score, was enrolled in an earlier grade, had a greater number of charges, and had fewer previous adjudications than juveniles found CST. Despite the group differences, IQ score was the only variable to significantly predict CST status at either evaluation. 2014 English text Xavier University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=xavier1510832213503426 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=xavier1510832213503426 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
