Assignment Details
You are a criminal intelligence analyst in a major crimes unit.
Your unit handles some of the most horrendous crimes that
occur in your jurisdiction. Recently, a case involving extreme
violence resulting in deaths and sexual assaults has been
opened, and it appears to be the work of a serial killer and
rapist. Some of the crimes are so horrible that the detectives
have come to you because they feel like the offender must be
insane. In a discussion, most are concerned that even though the
offender has committed these horrible crimes, he will not end
up going to jail because he is insane.
The Major Crimes Commander knows that you have recently
taken legal training on insanity versus competency and feels
that you would best be able to speak to his or her unit and
explain the differences between
legal insanity
and
clinical insanity
(based on the psychopathology of the suspect).
Focus your discussion on the following:
Describe 2 different scenarios in which one offender’s actions
indicate that he or she is clinically insane and that he or she has
demonstrated that he or she is legally insane as well, and not
competent to stand trial.
In the second scenario the offender’s actions clearly indicate
that he or she is clinically insane but there actions during and
following the crime appear to indicate they are legally sane and
competent to stand trial.
Review the main postings of others in the class, and respond to
a minimum of 2 different classmates' postings with your
viewpoint on the offender’s legal competency to stand trial.
Do you believe the findings of your classmates on their
scenarios? Why or why not?
