Gaps: In compliance with the Updated Accreditation Criteria of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Education Committee of AAPL has identified “professional practice gaps.” Definition: A “professional practice gap” is the difference between what a health professional is doing or accomplishing compared to what is achievable on the basis of current professional knowledge. For this Annual Meeting the following gaps have been identified based on the AAPL Educational Mission Statement printed on the next page: 1. Not practicing forensic psychiatry at the highest level attainable based on current knowledge of the fundamentals of the field. Need: Improvement in knowledge of civil, criminal, and correctional forensic psychiatry. 2. Lacking the knowledge of content or technique to teach psychiatrists the fundamentals of forensic psychiatry in the most effective ways. Need: Knowing new content and effective ways to teach forensic psychiatry. 3. Lacking the ability to conduct or assess research in forensic psychiatry. Needs: 1. Knowing how to do research or 2. Knowing the outcomes of research in forensic psychiatry and how to apply those outcomes to forensic practice. II. Changes in behavior/objectives: It is intended that, as a result of attending this meeting, psychiatrists will be able to identify changes in competence or performance that are desirable. Definitions: Competence” is knowing how to do something. “Performance” is what a psychiatrist would do in practice if given the opportunity. Participants will improve their competence or performance in forensic psychiatry in the following three areas: 1. Service, including treatment of forensic patients, development of service delivery strategies, and enhancement of consultative abilities at the interface of psychiatry and the legal profession; 2. Teaching, including new methods of training of forensic psychiatrists and classification of the tasks and functions of forensic psychiatrists; and 3. Research, gaining access to scientific data in area that form the basis for practice of discipline. III. Evaluation: The Updated Accreditation criteria are designed to integrate with the new requirements for maintenance of certification. (For more information see www.ABPN.org.) Physicians are expected to perform self assessments of their prac- tice, but AAPL, as an organization accredited by the ACCME, is expected to measure how its educational activities assist physicians in this activity. Thus, there are new questions in the evaluation form at the end of this Program Book. Those questions address your intended changes in competence or performance. In a few months, we will contact all physician meeting attendees to ask you if you actually HAVE experienced changes in competence or performance. Your responses, now and in the future, will assist us and ultimately you in determining educational activities that are most useful to you. Thank you in advance. Debra Pinals, MD, Marilyn Price, MD, CM and Cheryl Wills, MD Co-chairs, Education Committee v O AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PSYCHIATRY AND THE LAW Continuing Medical Education Mission Statement The Bylaws of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law place education first among the purposes for which the Academy exists. Purpose: Through the education process, the Academy desires to: promote the exchange of ideas and experiences that enrich the field of psychiatry and the law, provide practical knowledge for members and others with an interest in this area, foster the development of future psychiatrists in this field, and encourage research. Target Audience: Our target audience includes members and other psychiatrists interested in forensic psychiatry. Content areas: Each educational offering of the Academy shall have as content areas subjects that improve skills in at least one of the following: 1) practice, including treatment of forensic patients and forensic examinations in the criminal and civil context, development of service delivery and risk management strategies, and enhancement of consultative abilities at the interface of psychiatry and the law; 2) teaching, including developing new and improv- ing existing methods of forensic training of psychiatrists; and 3) research, including the development and application of scientific data in areas that form the basis for practice of the discipline.

  • Models in Collaborative and Distributed Digital Investigation in the World of Ubiquitous Computing and Communication Systems
    Models in Collaborative and Distributed Digital Investigation In the World of Ubiquitous Computing and Communication Systems Michael Losavio, Deborah Keeling and Michael Lemon Abstract Ubiquitous computing and communication systems produce ubiquitous electronic evidence of use in many disciplines. For law enforcement, the use of digital evidence has expanded beyond electronic child exploitation materials into other traditional areas of criminal justice, including homicide, robbery and narcotics trafficking. This expanded utility is also available to any information community in need of historical data. But the growth in the distribution and volume of this information and its storage media create challenges for collection and the validation of reliability. Several ad hoc and distributed models for investigative process may assist both law enforcement and the curation and archival communities. We examine and discuss the data from these models and the future of distributing digital forensic expertise for broad use. Authors Michael Losavio teaches on computer engineering and criminal justice issues at the University of Louisville and has taught in Egypt and Mexico. His J.D. is from Louisiana State University. Dr. Deborah Keeling received her Ph.D. from Purdue University in sociology and is chair of the Department of Justice Administration of the University. Her research interests are in democratic policing in Europe and Asia and electronic crime. Michael Lemon is a detective for the Bowling Green (Ky) Police Department and a M.S. student in digital forensics at the University of Central Florida. 1. Introduction Ubiquitous computing permeates the world. The number of cell phones exceeds the U.S. population.1 With the proliferation of digital technology comes a commensurate growth in transactional and content- related electronic information.

  • Una Nueva Categoría De Homicidios Por Causas Personales Según El FBI Secuestro* “In Utero” O Rapto Fetal (Fetal Abduction)
    Una nueva categoría de homicidios por causas personales según el FBI secuestro* “in utero” o rapto fetal (fetal abduction) According to the FBI this is a new category of homicide for personal causes, in utero kidnapping or fetal abduction Autor: Susana P. García Roversi DOI: https://doi.org/10.25058/1794600X.104 Revista Misión Jurídica / ISSN 1794-600X / E-ISSN 2661-9067 Vol. 8 - Núm. 9/ Julio - Diciembre de 2015 / pp. 177 - 196 UNA NUEVA CATEGORÍA DE HOMICIDIOS POR CAUSAS PERSONALES SEGÚN EL FBI.

García Roversi a [email protected] Fecha de recepción: 6 de julio de 2015 Fecha de revisión: 12 de agosto de 2015 Fecha de aceptación: 18 de agosto de 2015 RESUMEN Este delito consiste en el secuestro de un bebé nonato por medio de una extracción coercitiva del vientre materno en una macabra réplica, primitiva y brutal, de un procedimiento de cesárea. La madre, generalmente, es atraída por la delincuente –99 % mujeres– con engaños y falsas promesas de ayuda, luego de sumir a la madre en la inconsciencia, la perpetradora corta su vientre –literalmente–, extrae el nonato y se lo lleva con fines de apropiación. Las futuras madres son asesinadas –antes o después del proceso–, o mueren * La autora no está de acuerdo con la figura de “secuestro” o de “rapto”; en su opinión se trata, simple, llana y cruelmente hablando, de robo de fetos o nonatos, en concurrencia con el homicidio de la madre.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Oklahoma Law Review by an authorized editor of University of Oklahoma College of Law Digital Commons. For more information, please contact [email protected]. THE SEMANTICS OF INSANITY GERTRUDE BLOCK* The modern insanity defense is rooted in the concept that mens rea (a guilty or vicious mind) is necessary for crime. For hundreds of years, the statement, Actus non facit reum nisi mens sit rea ("An act does not make [the actor] guilty unless his mind is guilty"), has been the legal basis for criminal responsibility.' But the concept of mens rea was not always a part of common law. Anglo-Saxon law held that intent was not a necessary element of crime. The act itself was considered rather than the intent behind it, and repara- tion was demanded of the actor for the consequences of his act.' The law required compensation in the interest of peace rather than punish- ment of the offender; to avoid the blood feud that would otherwise result, compensation was made to the injured person, or in the case of murder, to his kin.3 Compensation was awarded, as well, to the feudal lord for the death or injury of his servant.
