This article focuses on the preferred disposition for an individual charged with a serious crime against another person, adjudicated incompetent to stand trial and not restorable to competence, whose original criminal charges are dismissed without prejudice, and who is regarded by the state as dangerous to the general public. Three current models used today in California, Oregon, and Ohio are described. All three rely on modifications of various aspects of civil commitment law. We then propose a fourth model based on a modified version of the 1989 American Bar Association (ABA) Criminal Justice Mental Health Standards, in which individuals who are found incompetent to stand trial and not restorable to competence and are considered dangerous would be committed under the same special procedures governing the management and treatment of insanity acquittees.
本文主要探讨了对被控严重人身犯罪、被判定无能力接受审判且无法恢复能力、原刑事指控被无偏见驳回、且被国家视为对公众具有危险的个人的首选处置方式。文中描述了加利福尼亚州、俄勒冈州和俄亥俄州目前使用的三种模式。这三种模式都依赖于对民事拘留法律的各个方面进行修改。然后，我们提出了第四个模式，该模式基于对 1989 年美国律师协会（ABA）刑事司法心理健康标准的修改版本，其中被判定无能力接受审判且无法恢复能力且被认为具有危险的个人将根据管理和治疗精神错乱者的相同特别程序进行拘留。
