Abstract

The practice of criminal prosecution of persons who commit criminal offences in the state of limited sanity has been analyzed (with the purpose of further development of new approaches to characteristic of mental derangement as limited sanity’s compulsory feature). It has been deduced that summarized results of judicial practice make abundantly clear that committing a criminal offence by a person who due to his (her) mental derangement was not able to fully understand his (her) actions and (or) control them necessitates to make the clear list of mental derangements allow to consider such person as having limited sanity

Keywords: criminal offence, limited sanity, mental derangement, compulsory measures of medical care
