Mental Disorder and the Criminal Law: Doctrines of Legal Insanity – Claire Hogg

How do we understand the relationship between culpability and mental disorder? When a person who suffers from some mental health issue commits a crime, should she get a lighter treatment? In this lecture, Claire Hogg explores the different ways in which different laws justify why a person with a mental health issue should get a lighter treatment. This is the seventh lecture in the London Lecture Series 2023/24, which this year is on the subject of Madness and Mental Health.
