Description
In an era of evolving criminal jurisprudence and growing mental health awareness, "Insanity in Criminal Trials: A Cross-Jurisdictional Analysis of Legal Standards and Women's Realities" delves deep into the complex legal landscape governing the defence of insanity. This groundbreaking research unpacks constitutional and legal provisions across the globe-offering a comparative lens to India's approach to the insanity defence.With a sharp focus on spousal homicide, infanticide, and filicide committed by women grappling with Battered Woman Syndrome and Postpartum Psychosis, the author boldly challenges traditional notions of criminal responsibility. Through an integrative methodology combining doctrinal analysis with exploratory insights, the study reveals systemic gaps, ambiguities, and overlooked nuances in both legislation and practice.More than a legal critique, this work champions an interdisciplinary, participatory framework-embracing legal pluralism, transplant theory, and human rights activism. It is a clarion call for reform, empathy, and justice at the intersection of mental health and criminal law.A vital read for legal scholars, mental health professionals, human rights advocates, and anyone invested in equitable justice.
