Criminal Liability and Mental Health: Legal Complexities and Emerging Perspectives examines the intersection of mental health and criminal law, exploring how disorders affect concepts like mens rea, the insanity defense, diminished responsibility, and fitness to stand trial. Through a global and comparative lens, the book analyzes key legal tests, such as the M'Naghten Rules, and their applications across jurisdictions. It addresses practical challenges, including the role of mental health evaluations in sentencing, substance abuse's impact on liability, and issues faced by juveniles and gendered dynamics in criminal proceedings.
The book concludes with a call for nuanced legal reforms and policy advancements, blending theory, case studies, and real-world insights to inspire mental health-informed justice.
