This chapter offers guidance on using the data collected to make inferences and form opinions about the essential questions in Miller evaluations. The first section offers guidance on general matters of interpretation: forming opinions based on data and theory/research foundations, the logic employed, the use of corroboration to shape inferences, and the formation of alternative hypotheses. Then commentary is offered separately for forming interpretations related to each of the Miller factors: decisional immaturity, dependency immaturity, analyzing the offense context, and making interpretations about prospects for rehabilitation. A final section focuses specifically on interpretations related to the legal concept of irreparable corruption.

Chapter 3 identifies, reviews, and provides references to reviews of research relevant for various factors assessed in Miller cases. The first section reviews research on serious and violent offending and re-offending among adolescents, patterns of life-course offending, and research specifically on homicides by juveniles. The next section reviews neuroscience and psychological research on adolescent decision making and risk taking. The research on personality and psychopathology of adolescent offenders is reviewed, followed by research on factors related to youths’ amenability to rehabilitation as well as what is known about the effectiveness of various interventions to reduce re-offending among youth. Finally, the chapter offers background and research on structured assessment tools useful for assessing the characteristics associated with the Miller immaturity factors.

Chapter 4 offers guidance for the clinician in the earliest stages of the evaluation process before engaging in the evaluation itself. The first section focuses on whether the clinician is competent to perform Miller evaluations. It focuses on what is required of the clinician in terms of specialized knowledge, ways to avoid bias, and other special demands of Miller cases. The second section focuses on communications with the party requesting the evaluation (typically an attorney) and describes how to reach agreement about objectives and creating the proper expectations for both the attorney and the clinician. Finally, various logistical matters are discussed regarding location of evaluations, time frames, and gaining access to relevant records and collateral interviewees. The chapter concludes with suggestions for planning the evaluation itself.

This chapter offers guidance for writing one’s report and testifying in Miller cases. It begins with recommendations for discussing the evaluation results and one’s interpretation with the referring party before drafting the report, then describes the value and limitations of discussing the written draft prior to final signing of the report. Then guidance is offered for depositions, which are common in Miller evaluations. Finally, a number of resources are identified that prepare forensic examiners for testimony, followed by examples of, and possible ways to answer, challenging questions that often arise specifically in Miller evaluations. The chapter ends with a general conclusion for the book.
