Abstract

Mental health professionals' accuracy in predictions on the probability of unfit defendants' ability of attaining fitness to stand trial was examined. An over-all 78% accuracy in such predictions was found. It is interesting to note that all errors were due to overpredicting individuals' ability to attain fitness. The implications are discussed.
