Is the Insanity Defense “Unconscionable”?

1975

Journal of Forensic Sciences

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Over the years, much criticism has been directed at the concept of the insanity defense, which at its root reflected the traditional feeling that public policy is not served by imposing blame on those not responsible for their behavior. Though this principle has achieved a global recognition, it has reached its height in the Anglo-Saxon world of demons and devils, which is dominated by its early religious origins and the Augustinian concept of free will. Yet increasingly we have slowly become aware of other issues; for example, the rigid concept of responsibility and its corollary, nonresponsibility, have at various times been utilized to deprive various groups of power and participation in society. Traditionally, one group of disabled and legally incompetent who must be both protected and kept powerless consisted of the unholy triumvirate of the insane, children, and women.

Problems Surrounding Release of Persons Found Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity

The concept of not guilty by reason of insanity (NGI) is not simply a philosophical one dealing with courtroom drama [1,2]. Despite the attention paid to trial issues and matters of strategy and testimony, there has been a relative neglect in the study of the practical effects of current practices. The labeling process sets in motion a series of events. Generally, in the United States, a person found not guilty by reason of insanity is hospitalized either in a special state institution for the “criminally insane” or in a designated forensic unit at a state hospital. The handling, disposition, and technicalities of release are extremely varied and complex. The vagaries of release and subsequent antisocial behavior by an NGI patient (hereafter referred to as NGI) have resulted in adverse publicity far out of proportion to the numbers of people or problems involved.
