The "crime-legal content" of mental disorder and its relation to the admissibility of preventive detention for certain offenders.
2011
Abstract
The last findings of psychiatry and psychology suggest our limited knowledge concerning mental health, so that we have to be prepared for possible changes of particular terms reffering to mental disorder in the future. This subject has been paid increased attention in the Czech Republic lately, since the criminal-political pressure is increasing here to protect potential victims of serious crime from dangerous offenders, who had been diagnosed with mental disorder in the past, more strongly.The consequence of such an approach is the tendency to expand the possibilities for imposing security detention.
