UniversitySymposiumDebates

Legal,Psychic,MoralFreedom

UndertheauspicesoftheGuildofSt. LukeandtheNewmanGraduateDivisionasymposiumwasheldatSt.Thomas MoreCollegeonSunday,Sept.9,oncriminal andmoralresponsibility.

Thespeakersonthepanel wereDr.F.G.Prendergast on"Insanity,"Mr.JohnL. Tooheyon"Crime"andthe Rev.L.Begley,S.J.,on "MoralResponsibility."

Dr.F.G.Prendergast initiatedthediscussionon "Insanity,"makingthefollowingpoints:

Theconflictbetweenlegal menandpsychiatristsin lawcourtsoverthequestion ofcriminalresponsibility arisesinpartfromthe limitedoutlookofbothprofessions.

Psychiatristsareinclined toadoptanattitudeofomniscienceandtotheorise ratherwildlyonsometimes slenderpremises.

Legalmentendtoignore theeffectofemotionsand unconsciousmotivesonone's actionsandtoassumethat wearemorerationalcreaturesthanwereallyare.

Conditionssuchasabnormalstatesofdepressionor epilepsycanabolishresponsibilityforone'sactions. Legaldefenceof"blackout"mustbescrutinised withgreatscepticismasit isaltogethertooconvenient andthegreatmajorityof suchdefencesarespurious.

ShockTreatment

Unfortunately psychoanlysishasprovedmore usefulinstudyinghow psychiatricsymptomsmight havearisenthaninhelping patientsgetridofthose symptoms.Thefactthata patientmayunderstandhow hissymptomshaveoriginateddoesnothelphimget ridofthem.

Physicalmethodsoftreatmentsuchastheso-called "shock"treatment(electric convulsanttreatment)have ingeneralprovedmoreeffective,particularlywith abnormalstatesofdepression.

Itshouldbemorewidely knownthat,thankstothe useofmodernanaesthetics, theterm"shock"treatment isamisnomer.Many patientsareterrifiedatthe thoughtofsuchtreatment butitcannowbegiven withmuchlessdiscomfort thantheaveragevisittoa dentist.

Psychiatristshavetended tomakeexaggeratedclaims fortheirabilitytocuresex offenders,claimswhich havenotbeenborneoutby practicalexperience.

Thereisneedforaninstitutionmidwaybetween thementalhospitalandthe prisonwheresuchoffenders canbekeptuntiltheyare regardedasnolongera menacetothecommunity. Suchaninstitutionhasbeen establishedinDenmarkand seemsthemostrationalapproachtotheproblem.

Mr.Toohey,indiscussing criminalresponsibility,said thatthereweretwoelements ofcriminaloffence-physicalandmental.

IntentionAndAct

Anactmustbeaccompaniedbyknowledgeofthe consequencestogetherwith theintentiontobringthem aboutorrecklessnessof consequences.

Aguiltymindalonewas insufficient-thenearest approachwasseditionbut anovertactwasrequired.

Thelawwasnotequally consistent,however,inrequiringthementalelement. Themoralists'problemwas thedemandfortheextensionofirresponsibility. Lawyerswereconcernedin thattoo,butalsowiththe tendencytoimposeliability, irrespectiveofmoralresponsibility.

ConflictingPressures

In"statutoryoffences" whereitwasdifficultto provethementalelement thepenaltywaslightand thedamagetothepublic greatbycomparison.

Itwasgenerallytrueto saythatwithseriousoffencesknowledgeandintentionwererequired.

Someexemptionsfrom responsibilitywerenotcommontoboththepsychiatrist andthemoralistandwould notbediscussed,forexample,mistake,infancy,compulsion.Thegreatestdifficultywasinthesphereof mentaldisorder.

Conflictingpressuresarose -ashumanitarianstheydid notwishtopunishascriminalsthosewhoseactswere

productsofaninsanemind; aslawyers,theydidnot wishtowithdrawthedeterrentforceofcriminallaw fromthosewhomightbe influencedbyitssanctions; ascitizenstheywereaware ofthestrongpublicdesire forretributionparticularly wheredeathwasinvolved.

Increasingknowledgeof psychiatryhadnotgreatly lessenedthatconflict.

Inpracticeadefencebasedonmentaldisorderwas onlyrelevanttohomicide wheretheissuewasincarcerationversusdeath.In theabsenceofthedeath penaltytheproblemwas notsogreat.

SanityPresumed

Theverdictof"Notguilty onthegroundofunsoundnessofmind"hadoriginatedinVictoriantimes.

"Insanity"wasthelegal termtodenoteirresponsibilityorincompetenceat laworliabilitytocommittal toaninstitution.Itshould notbeusedbypsychiatrists whoclassifiedsubjectsin termsofvariousclassificationsofmentalillness.

PossibleChanges

Thoseruleswererepeated intheCriminalCodewith ratherdifferentwordingand extensiontocoverirresistibleimpulse.

Theaccusedwasnotresponsibleifatthetimeof theacthewasinsucha stateofmentaldiseaseor naturalmentalinfirmityas todeprivehimofthecapacitytounderstandwhathe wasdoingorofthecapa- citytoknowthatheought nottodotheact.

"Ought"asinterpretedby theHighCourtmeantmorallywrong.

Theoperationoflawevenwiththeinclusionof irresistibleimpulserulesleftmuchtobedesired.In itsformulationitwastoo narrow,initsoperationtoo elastic.

Whilejuriesweredirectedintermsofthelaw,their verdictwasreachedonthe

basisofmanyotherfactors, forinstance(asinaparticularlyatrociouscrime), e.g.,Haig,Heath,Griffiths. Juriesdidstretchthe rulesandinthatwayarrivedatsubstantialjustice.

Discussingwhatchanges mightbemade,Mr.Toohey saidthattheRoyalCommission,1953,suggesteditbe lefttothejury"todeterminewhetheratthetimeof theacttheaccusedwassufferingfromdiseaseofthe mind(ormentaldeficiency) tosuchadegreethathe oughtnottobeheldresponsible."

Suchadirectionwouldallowmorepsychiatricevidencetobepresentedand wouldnotputpsychiatrists intheimpossiblepositionof accommodatingtheirviews toalegalformula.

FatherJ.Begley,S.J.,discussedmoralresponsibility. HeagreedwithDr.PrendergastandMr.Tooheythat moralresponsibilityin humanbeingsadmittedof verygreatvariation.Since itdependedonknowledge ofthemorallawandfree will,factorsthatdestroyed orlessenedthesewoulddestroyorlessenmoralresponsibility.

Moralist'sViews

Suchfactorswere,for example,inculpableignorance,abadenvironment, disordersofconstitutionor temperament,strongemotion,mentaldiseaseorderangement.

Itwasimportant,however,tobearinmindthat althoughstronglyinfluenced byvariousfactors,and thereforenotperfectlyresponsible,peoplecouldoften retainenoughself-controlto besufficientlyresponsible fortheiractions,and,moreover,theycouldberesponsibleforexposingthemselveswithoutexcusetothe influenceofthosefactors.

TheCatholicmoralist wantedjudgmentsonmoral responsibilitytobeinaccordancewiththefacts.To knowthosefactsandtherebyassessthemoralresponsibilityinvolvedwasnot alwayseasyandmoralists werethereforegratefulfor thelightthrownuponhumanbehaviourbymodernpsychologyandpsychiatry.

Psychologyhadcontributed,forexample,toour knowledgeofthechild,and psychiatrytoknowledgeof theabnormalpersonality.It seemedonlyrightandreasonablethatthecivillaw shouldtakethosefindingsintoaccount.

At altiesleastwheremajorpenwereinvolved,legal responsibilityshouldbear someproportiontomoralresponsibility.Discussionsof thatkindbetweenlawyers, psychologists,psychiatrists, andmoralistswerehighly desirablesincetherewere manymodernproblemsinvolvingpublicorder,the humanpersonalityandthe morallaw.

Karachi,Pakistan,Sept. 11.-Pakistan'snewPrime Minister,HusseinShaheed Suhrawardy,isagraduate ofSt.Xavier'sCollegein Calcutta,India. Mr.Suhrawardy,whohad beenleaderoftheoppositioninthePakistanParliament,wasnamedPrime MinisterfollowingtheresignationofPremierMohammedAli.

InaradioaddresstotheiallywhenheworksinnonmeetingintheDutchcapital,theHolyFatheremphasisedthatcivillawand moralityarecloselycon- nectedandthattheChristianphysicianmustknow andobeythelawofGod.

Thethemeofthecongresswas"ThePhysicirri andtheLaw."

Medicallaw,saidHis Holiness,mustnotbeallowedtocountenanceany actionwhichisnot,inaccordwithmorallaw.It cannot,forexample,permit euthanasiaorabortion,for bothareclearlyforbidden bythelawofGod.

Eveniflawspermittingsuchactionsarepassedby public authorities,the Christianphysicianmust realisethatmedfcallaw hasnoauthorityinsuch mattersandthatheisnot boundbyitbutbythe greaterlawofGod.

Thedoctorisobliged, saidtheHolyFather,to respectthemedicalmoral codeunconditionallyinall caseswhereitsprovisions areclearandcertain.

Inothercasesheisobligedtoinformhimselfabout thelawsofGodcarefully andthoroughly,toprayfor knowledgeandunderstanding,andtoconsultmoralistswherenecessaryand possible,sothathemay makedecisionswithanenlightenedmindandaclear conscienceinaccordwith theobjectivenormsgiven byGod.

MedicalAndMoral

Distinguishingmedical lawfromthemoralcode, thePopesaidthat"moralityhasasitsgoalthedeterminationoftheconscious internalandexternalattitudeofmantowardthe greatobligationswhichare consequencesoftheessentialconditionsofhuman nature:obligationstoward Godandreligion,obligationsinjusticetowardone's selfandtowardone's neighbour,whichmeanstowardindividuals,groups, andcommunityorganisations,andobligationsinthe almostunlimitedrealmof materialthings."

TheHolyFatherwenton tosaythat"moralityimposesontheconscienceof everyman,whetherheis adoctororasoldier,a scholaroramanofaction, thedutyofregulatinghis actionsaccordingtohis moralobligations."

Ontheotherhand,he pointedout,medicallaw brings dardstogetherthestanwhich,inapoliticalcommunity,concern thepersonandactivityof thedoctorandcanbecontrolledandenforcedby publicauthority.These lawsmaybeformulated andpromulgatedbypublic authorityormerelyauthorisedorsanctionedbyit.
