Topics covered include: the defenses of automatism, insanity, diminished responsibility, and infanticide; self-induced incapacity; and the doctrine of fault. It also includes a chapter on unfitness to plead, which although not a defense has been included because of its important relationship to mental disorder within the criminal process.Drawing upon a wide variety of legal, psychiatric, and philosophical sources, this is a timely contribution to a controversial and complex topic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51667110756640,"sku":"NEW0198259956","price":197.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/717uOn6dMZL.jpg?v=1778958613","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/mental-conditions-defences-in-the-criminal-law-oxford-monographs-on-criminal-law-and-justice-0198259956","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
