摘要

This article examines the mental illness defense in China which is set out in Article 18 of its penal code. Article 18 is also compared to Canada's mental disorder defense which is typical of the insanity defense in many common law countries. Some important terms in China's mental illness defense law are not as well defined as in Canada's mental disorder defense. On the other hand, China's mental illness provision contains both a cognitive element and a volitional (will) element, while Canada's mental disorder defense only contains a cognitive element. In addition, the content of the 'cognitive' factor is different in the two countries' laws. Also, China's criminal law expressly provides for a mitigated punishment (but not a reduced conviction) for those who, due to mental illness, have only partial ability to recognize or control their conduct. Canada has no similar express provision, although partial mental disorder can be taken into account as one of the many unspecified mitigating factors under Canada's sentencing laws. Finally, the article discusses the different approaches in the two countries to providing psychiatric evidence to the courts and provides some data on the frequency, nature and disposition of persons found not responsible due to mental illness.
