The Defense of Insanity, The World Over is the 10th in a series of
books that examines and compares social issues or social problems
from an explicitly comparative perspective. This volume examines
and compares the criteria and procedures surrounding the defense of
insanity across twenty-two countries. In addition to the criteria
for each of the countries, Simon and Ahn-Redding report the burden
of proof; whether this burden is on the side of the defense or the
prosecution; the degree, beyond a reasonable doubt or by a
preponderance of the evidence; the form the verdict takes; who
typically decides, a judge or a jury; what role experts play in the
proceedings; and what happens to the defendant if he or she is
found not guilty by reason of insanity. The Defense of Insanity,
The World Over provides a history of the defense of insanity going
as far back as ancient Greek and Roman societies including the
development of the defense in modern legal codes beginning with the
British criteria in 1265. This one-of-a-kind study also looks at
how the defense of insanity is treated in Jewish and Islamic law.
Simon and Ahn-Redding have crafted an expert study that will appeal
to scholar of sociology, criminal justice, and international
studies.
