Description

The insanity defence remains a subject of intense debate within criminal law. This academic text from Oxford University Press provides a deep look into how this defence operates across different jurisdictions. Mackay, Brookbanks, and a team of expert contributors examine the theory and practice behind the insanity defence, analyzing its influence in both common law and civil law systems. By exploring diverse manifestations, including the M'Naghten Rules, this book addresses the lack of knowledge regarding how these legal standards function in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and beyond. It is an essential resource for those studying international and comparative perspectives on criminal law and justice.
