What is Forensic Psychiatry?

Expert Witnesses, Insanity Defense, Criminal Responsibility


Forensic Psychiatry is a combination of the law and psychiatric practice that deals with issues like criminal responsibility.

Forensic psychiatry is the interface between law and psychiatry. It involves the assessment and treatment of mentally abnormal offenders, as well as the legal aspects of psychiatry which require knowledge of the law relating to ordinary psychiatric practice, civil law and issues of criminal responsibility.

Forensic psychiatry also includes psychiatric consultation in a wide variety of legal matters (including expert witness testimony) as well as clinical work with perpetrators and victims.

While the Canadian definition of the sub-specialty is similar to that of the USA, actual practice differs because of the difference in the legal systems.

If something is logical - it must be legal, and on the contrary, if something is illogical - it must be illegal.

This way criminal activity aimed at harming other humans must be considered illegal and therefore illogical.

This means that modern criminals are all to be considered mentally insane and must be contained in Criminal Lunatic Asylums.

This is also true in case of a conspiracy, which is the same as a criminal organization, but usually is made of people with higher positions in society.

What about sodomizing the powerful?

Should this be considered wrong/criminal or right, oh so very, very right?

It is enough to think in terms of logic / rationality.

Are you talking baout rational actions towards someone?

Or are you just hating powerful people, even if they are not corrupted?

Only giving it to the ones whom evidence shows are oh so very much asking for it.

You just answered your own question.

I think it was rhetorical.

"For every action there is a reaction".

If your actions are driven as reactions, they are guided by logic.

There are some who are fighting for it, begging for it.

A little spoonful of it. They're just oh so very afraid of being ostracized for showing their estrogen side. It's only being friendly to want to give them what they long for.

I think you need to give an example, otherwise this discussion has no point.
