Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The chapter focuses on three specific areas of forensic assessment: competency to stand trial, insanity (or mental state at the time of the offense), and sentencing (including mitigation and risk assessment). Option A is partially correct as it includes competency, but the other two areas mentioned (competency to waive one's rights and competency to serve as one's own lawyer) are subsets of competency to stand trial. Options B and D are not relevant to the three areas discussed in the chapter.
