Abstract:
In theory, an insanity defence can take two forms: the cognitive form (C-insanity) and the volitional form (V-insanity). The defence of C-insanity recognises that a disordered state of mind can make the ability to understand the nature of an action impossible. On the other hand, V-insanity is recognised in some common law jurisdictions, such as all jurisdictions in Australia except for Victoria and New South Wales, and is a full defence. It recognises that a disordered state of mind can make the exercise of self-control impossible. However, that disordered state of mind does not necessarily affect the understanding of the nature of the act impossible.

Abstract:
In twentieth-century Australian criminal law a distinctive departure from the M’Naghten Rules developed as a critique of the discourse of reasoning and verdicts applying in the relevant English trials from the 1880s. The English verdict of ‘guilty but insane’ was criticized by the leading jurists as contradictory. In a sequence of influential judgments, the jurist Owen Dixon articulated an approach to the insanity defence that made room for a medico-legal discourse which broadened the possible referents of what it meant to ‘know’ the legality of an act, and also acknowledged the complex behavioural factors that might determine an act of homicide. This paper explores the shaping and significance of this departure and its comparative judicial, medical and social contexts. A concluding discussion considers whether the more flexible interpretation of the insanity defence implied by the direction of Dixon’s decisions made as much of a difference to frequency of use of the defence as the contemporaneous decline and eventual abolition of capital punishment.

Abstract:
The upward trend of incarceration rates persists among women in Victoria, with increasingly punitive sentencing and onerous new bail laws. At the same time, the complex needs of women in the criminal justice system are becoming the focus of greater study and documentation. This article presents the case for a specialist women’s list under the Magistrates’ Court of Victoria jurisdiction, based in principles of therapeutic jurisprudence and procedural justice. While the list aims to reduce offending by addressing criminogenic factors unique to women, the picture is far bigger; the Victorian Women’s Court ultimately promotes justice for women who commit crimes.

Abstract:
The problem of determining the limits of competence of a forensic psychiatrist expert and a psychologist expert, the principles of interaction of law, forensic psychiatry and psychology in modern domestic expert practice remain relevant to the present day. The current legislation of Ukraine regulates expert compliance with the limits of competence. In jurisprudence and psychiatry, the issue of the definition of the concept of “insanity” is currently debatable, since the so-called “formula of insanity” contains medical (biological) and psychological (legal) criteria. This article purpose The purpose of this paper: presenting of the author's systemic model of ascertaining insanity, which delimits the competences of lawyers and an expert psychiatrist; A written description of the psychiatric criteria (diagnostic, criticality and anamnestic) of determining the mental state of a person in a legally relevant period of time is given; The definition of the concept of “insanity” is formulated. No less urgent is the problem of further improvement and bringing into compliance of certain paragraphs the Procedure for conducting a forensic psychiatric examination of the current legislation of Ukraine and departmental regulatory acts governing the organization of forensic expert activity in state specialized expert institutions.

Abstract:
This article is the Inaugural Address given by Professor Aikman, Professor of Jurisprudence and Constitutional Law, Victoria University College, on 11 September 1956. The author discusses the nature of international law in general terms, first by exploring the nature of traditional international law as a set of rules by which states feel themselves bound to observe in their relations with each other. The author then explores the notion that traditional international law was developed as a means for regulating external contacts rather than as the expression of the life of a true society (the favoured approach of Sir Alfred Zimmern). The function of political power is also discussed in the context of the world community, including that of the United Nations. However, the author notes that the United Nations and its related agencies also act on a functional (i.e. social, cultural, economic and humanitarian) field and at a regional level. The author then discusses the role of arbitration, judicial settlement, and the role of moral principles in international affairs. The author concludes that international law requires diversity, commitment, and acceptance.

Abstract:
Abstract While Australia inherited its law on the defence of insanity from England, it has evolved extensively through serial legislative reforms. The law is now significantly disuniform among Australia’s federal, state, and territory jurisdictions in terms of the nomenclature of the defence, criteria for its invocation, and the bases upon which persons found not guilty are dealt with upon a finding of insanity, mental impairment, mental incompetence, or unsoundness of mind. While in most jurisdictions detention is no longer at the Governor’s pleasure, there is diversity in respect of which bodies have an ongoing decision-making role for permitting reintegration of the person who has been forensically detained after a finding of mental illness, and the criteria on the basis of which the release discretion should be exercised. However, considerable jurisprudence has evolved which is distinctive to Australia, especially as to the key predictive criteria. There has also been a succession of law reform inquiries, and controversies remain lively in relation to matters such as whether there should be a volitional component to the defence, how the criteria should be formulated, and whether courts or specialist tribunals should have responsibility for the difficult predictive exercise of determining when it is safe to release from detention a person who has been found not guilty of a serious crime by reason of the defence.
