“…The present study builds on a program of research on expertise in the delivery of children's services, which has used a battery of psychometrically sound self-, peer-, and client-completed measures (King, Bartlett et al, 2008). This research program has defined expertise as the ability to show appropriate, exceptional, or adaptive performance or behavior in response to a situation that contains a degree of unpredictability or uncertainty (Dorner & Scholkopf, 1991).…”

There is growing interest in understanding the usefulness of mentorship programs for children's rehabilitation service providers. This evaluation study examined the effects of an occupational therapy mentorship program on the skills and behaviors of 8 new and 17 experienced occupational therapists practicing at a regional children's rehabilitation center. Self- and peer-report measures of family-centered behavior, critical thinking ability, listening/interactive communication skill, and clinical behavior were collected before and after an 11-month facilitated, collaborative group mentorship intervention. Significant pre-post changes associated with intervention were found on 9 of 12 outcome measures, including information provision, respectful treatment, self-confidence, and listening and clinical skill. Changes were not found on the more trait-like variables of open-mindedness, interpersonal sensitivity, and interpersonal skill. Experienced therapists had higher scores than new therapists on most variables, including family-centered behavior, listening skill, and clinical skill. Implications regarding the utility of mentorship programs in children's rehabilitation centers are discussed.

“…The baseline characteristics of our 18 high performers were CSEs who had good supervisory records, with some form of high objective measure of their ability (where measured, even if one-dimensional), who were known to impact consistently and positively upon major crime investigations, and were respected and known by their peers as knowledgeable. Peer nomination for high performance in work colleagues is routinely used in identification research such as this (Boendermaker et al 2000;King et al 2008) and has been shown to be a highly reliable and valid research method for identifying high performers (Sonnentag 1998).…”

The crime scene is a critical element of criminal investigations and where forensic science begins. Inadequately managed scenes lead to poor evidence and risk of wrongful convictions. Reports from the United States and the United Kingdom highlight that some crime scene examiners (CSEs) outperform their peers, leading to less unsolved cases. What neither report explained was why some CSEs excel. We identified the attributes of top-performing CSEs using job analytical techniques with 72 police investigators, forensic scientists, senior police managers, and 18 top CSEs from across Australia. We analyzed the data and found seven distinct critical skill sets for top performance in CSE: knowledge, life experience, professionalism, approach to life, communication, cognitive abilities, and stress management. In this paper we present the critical skills and discuss the multiple ways that top CSEs positively impact the work of criminal investigators and other CSEs, as well as the impact they have upon efficiencies within forensic laboratories.
