LEGAL INSANITY.
Should "Uncontrollable Impulse" Bar
Criminal Conviction?

Should "Uncontrollable Impulse" Bar
Criminal Conviction?
The New York Law Journal recently
contained an editorial article favoring
a 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 o standard
of mental capacity required in New
York to render a 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 MoLane Hamilton,
do not recognize partial insanity"
saying that a person is either sane or
insane. The state in which the mind
acts correctly as to its Judgment, but
tho will is controlled by some Impulse
which the mind cannot master, is not
recognized i'll many criminal courts,
because it has been found that the OK
ouse of irresistible impulse led to too
great number of aoquittals in cases
where defendants were really guilty Of
serious offenses.
In civil cases ii is easier to deal with
persons whose minds are SO affected
that they cannot como 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
q particular act was done under the in
fluence of the delusion or mental weak
moss which affects the person concerned.
