Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a critical examination of the insanity defense and involuntary commitment processes in North Carolina. Providing historical context and drawing upon case studies, the author analyzes the complexities of determining criminal responsibility for individuals with mental illness. The book explores the tension between protecting society and respecting the rights of the mentally ill, shedding light on the challenges of balancing these concerns within the legal system. By examining the limitations of the current insanity defense and the difficulties in predicting dangerousness, the author proposes reforms to involuntary commitment statutes and advocates for a shift towards the mens rea test as the determinant of criminal responsibility. This thought-provoking book offers valuable insights into the intersection of mental health, criminal justice, and civil liberties, making it an essential read for professionals, policymakers, and anyone interested in the complexities of this multifaceted issue.
