At our class we talk about the morality of a person with a disorder and as I read a lot of article and lump up all the notes i read.
Psychopathy is a construct characterised by personality facets such as selfishness and emotional poverty (lack of guilt or remorse and empathy) along with behavioural aspects, such as poor behavioural control, impulsiveness, and lack of responsibility (Cleckley, 1976, Glenn and Raine, 2014). The study clearly stated that people who have mental disorder or also called as "Psychopath" are not morally accountable and may be excused from a criminally phenomena which were they involved without their right intellectual control. Thus, they are not responsible into any harm unless people triggers them to commit violence act that harm the community. We should give consideration to these people and treat them as psychically sick. According to my readings on the Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology, it is no more reasonable to punish these individuals for a behavior over which they have no control than it is to punish an individual for breathing through his mouth because of enlarged adenoids, when a simple operation will remove the cause. There can be no question of responsibility where there is no evidence of conscious guilt; and there can be no question of guilt, if there is in the individual a strong psychic barrier that does not allow him to see it. And though an individual may be obsessed for months with the idea of carrying out a certain criminal act, there can be no question of premeditation if the individual is a victim of his impulses and instincts (Benjamin Karpman 1949). Let's hope in the future that these kind of people will be in the good hands and guarded by nurses and being judge by the psychiatrist, which may cure these people instead of punishing and torturing them.
