LEGAL INSANITY.
Should Uncomfortable Impulse" bar
Criminal Conviction?


should "Uncontrollable Impulse" bar
Criminal Conviction?
The New York Law Journal recently
contained an editorial article favoring
q modification of the test of insanity in
criminal cases. The ability to distin-
guish between right and wrong in ref
erence to the act committed and to
know that it was wrong is standard
of mental capacity required in New
York to render person responsible for
crimes committed by him.
The Law Journal argues in favor of
grading punishment according to the
mental condition of offenders who may
be partially insane" Many alienists,
including DIR. Allan McLane Hamilton,
do not recognize partial insanity, |"
saying that q person is either sane or
insane. The state in which the mind
acts correctly as to its judgment, but
the will is controlled by some Impulse
which the mind cannot master, is not
recognized in many criminal courts,
because it has been found that the ex-
cuse Of irresistible impulse led to too
great number of acquittals In cases
where defendants were really guilty Of
serious offenses.
In civil cases 1t is easier to deal with
persons whose minds are SO affected
that they cannot come to correct con-
illusions as to certain subjects. The is
sues at stake are frequently less impor-
tant, and it is possible to learn whether
a particular act was done under the in
fiuence of the delusion or mental weak
ness which affects the person concerned.
