Grisso T.. Evaluating Competencies: Forensic Assessments and Instruments. 2nd edition. — Springer,2002. — 564 p.. 2002

The second edition of Evaluating Competencies (hereinafter, EC) retains the outline of the first edition, but it has a somewhat different purpose. When the first edition was published in 1986, it introduced an untested concep­tual framework for organizing an empirical approach to competence assessments. It introduced the term "forensic assessment instruments" to the field. It borrowed on others' works and ideas, combining them for the purpose of proposing a systematic, cohesive foundation for the develop­ment of legally-relevant assessment tools. Much of that purpose has been accomplished. The principles for con­ceptualizing what legally-relevant competence evaluations are about, and the values of an empirical foundation for competence assessments, are accepted by most forensic researchers and practitioners who entered the field in the 1990s.
