Murder is the most malevolent of acts by humans. Not only does the
slaying of a man, woman or child destroy a life, but it ravages the
lives of all thoses associated with the person who has been killed,
and forments the collective angst of the community. But the mad who
kill are placed in a different socio-legal category to that of
"normal" murderers. Those regarded as insane, either at the time of
their improbity or after the event, are propelled into a distinct
and discreditable stratum of deviancy. They are "unreasonably"
dangerous. These miscreants are construed as "double-trouble" - mad
and bad. Is there justifiable (if exaggerated) anxiety about
dangerous mentally disordered people being "loose" in the
community? Is there genuine need to protect both society at large
and the mad? Does public concern about homicidal tendencies of the
mentally disordered warrent emphatic social interaction to protect
both potential victims and perpetrators? What are the merits and
consequences of post-liberal mental health policies and laws,
introduced at the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the
21st century in response to declared failure of previous approaches
to the care of mentally disordered people and the protection of the
public? How have the psychiatric disciplines of medicine and
nursing contributed to a period of unprecedented public alarm in
the 1990s about the mentally disordered? Dr Peter Morrall examines
the perennial problem of the rights of the rest of society.
