Clinical Studies in the Relationship of Insanity to Crime
Paul Eugene Bowers
Excerpt from Clinical Studies in the Relationship of Insanity to Crime
Every year society is unjustly sending to prison hundreds of insane an feeble-minded persons who, in the course of their mental disturbances, have violated the penal law.
It is my purpose in publishing this little volume to show the necessity for distinguishing between the criminal acts committed by persons mentally responsible and those mentally irresponsible that the culpable practice of punishing the mentally sick in penal institutions may, "in the course of justice," cease.
Society, of course, must be protected from the violent acts of all classes of individuals whether the perpetrators be sane or insane. But it is at once apparent that the mentally unbalanced should be committed to the hospitals for the insane, instead of to prisons.
