This landmark publication offers a unique comparative and
interdisciplinary study of criminal insanity and neuroscience.
Criminal law theories and ideologies which underpin the regulation
of criminal insanity have always been the subject of controversy.
The history of criminal insanity is characterised by conceptual and
empirical tension between two disciplinary realms: the law and the
mind sciences. The authors in this anthology explore in depth the
state of the art of legal insanity and the numerous intricate,
fascinating, pioneering and sophisticated questions raised by the
integration of different criminal law and behaviour theories,
diverse disciplines and methodologies, in a genuinely
interdisciplinary perspective. This volume will serve as a
practical guide for the comparative legal scholar and the judge, as
well as stimulating scholarly reading for the neuroscientist, the
social scientist and the philosopher with interdisciplinary
scientific interests.
