Prearraignment forensic evaluations, assessments conducted post-arrest, are ethically permissible. Current ethical codes misapply medical ethics, conflicting with legal precedents and constitutional rights.

Area of Science:

  • Forensic Psychiatry
  • Legal Ethics
  • Constitutional Law

Background:

  • Prearraignment forensic evaluations are psychiatric assessments of suspects shortly after arrest.
  • Existing ethical codes prohibiting these evaluations are argued to be based on personal/political bias and misapplied medical ethics.
  • This prohibition conflicts with judicial rulings and constitutional law, particularly the Fifth and Sixth Amendments.
