A landmark study in the intersection of criminal law and forensic psychiatry. It provides a definitive record of the man who forced a re-evaluation of how the British legal system treats the "feeble-minded" offender. After killing two young girls, Straffen was found "unfit to plead" and committed to Broadmoor. However, his subsequent escape-lasting only a few hours-led to the murder of a third child and ignited a national debate over the "M'Naghten Rules" and the legal definition of insanity. Edited in part by the pioneering physician and lawyer Dr. Letitia Fairfield, this volume provides an expert medical-legal lens on Straffen's mental state. It is an indispensable resource for historians of British criminology, collectors of the Hodge series, and those interested in the evolution of the insanity defense.
