PERSONS SUFFERING FROM MENTAL DISORDERS THAT DO NOT EXCLUDE SANITY, AS AN OBJECT OF FORENSIC RESEARCH
Abstract
Until recently, the study of socially dangerous actions of the mentally ill and persons with mental abnormalities, in domestic studies, was the prerogative of forensic psychiatry. The common interest of lawyers and forensic psychiatrists arose mainly on the basis of the appointment and conduct of forensic psychiatric examination, establishing a kind of border between the spheres of competence. Now, interest in this problem is observed in several branches of science (in criminal law, criminology, forensic psychiatry, psychology, etc.), and at the same time, the point of view of each of them has an independent meaning for determining the normative parameters of limited sanity. At the same time, given the growing prevalence of mental pathology among criminals, there remains an urgent need to create a general theoretical concept of the influence of mental pathology on crime in general and certain types of criminal behavior. This is especially true of many important issues related to the prevention and investigation of serious crimes, mechanisms and motivation of criminal behavior, etc.
