Evolution Of The Insanity Plea
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Are all delinquents created equal? Indeed, there are myriad levels of criminal activity that prove to land offenders in jail, with a percentage of those criminals committing their crimes under the duress of mental illness. These prisoners, while deserving of severe punishment, often do not have full control of their faculties. These orphans of society are often compelled by an emotional or mental imbalance that provokes them to act savagely toward their fellow human beings. One might assert the fact that what these disturbed individuals need is assisted treatment, not prison. Analyzing the evolution of the insanity plea leads one to believe that while the original objective was to address those with mental instability, it has grown out of this definition to support those whose situation does not necessarily apply.
