The terrain of mental incapacity in criminal law -- Putting mental incapacity together again -- 'Manifest madness' : the intersection of 'madness' and crime -- Dynamics of inclusion and exclusion : unfitness to plead and infancy -- Incapacity and disability : the exculpatory doctrines of insanity and automatism -- Knowing and proving exculpatory mental incapacity -- 'Since the days of Noah" : the law of intoxicated offending -- Gender, 'madness', and crime : the doctrine of infanticide -- Difference of degree and difference of kind : diminished responsibility. |
| Summary |
Understanding mental incapacity in criminal law is notoriously difficult; it involves tracing overlapping and interlocking legal doctrines, current and past practices of evidence and proof, and also medical and social understandings of mental illness and incapacity. With its focus on the complex interaction of legal doctrines and practices relating to mental incapacity and knowledge - both expert and non-expert - of it, this book offers a fresh perspective on this topic. |
