Concerning Irresponsibility in Criminals

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  19 February 2018

Extract

Mr. Whiteway's paper on this subject in the last number but one of the Journal is very interesting to medical men as an indication of the view taken by an enlightened legal mind, and it is especially interesting to us as proving that all legal minds are not so steeped in mediæval notions of responsibility as some medical men are apt to suppose. It contains, however, statements that must not be allowed to go unchallenged, and it pushes the doctrine of irresponsibility further than I, for one, should be prepared to follow.
