During this stage, individuals are said to develop abstract thinking, engage in systematic problem-solving, and show a form of egocentrism, believing others are as preoccupied with their behavior as they are...

These agencies evaluate the safety and efficacy of drugs before they can be marketed. They fund clinical trials and assess the benefits and risks associated with...

They tend to assume that the behavior of another person is a trait of that person, and to underestimate the power of the situation on the behavior of others. They tend to fail to recognize when the behavior of another is due to situational variables, and thus to the person’s state. This erroneous assumption is...

Area of Science:

  • Comparative Law
  • Criminal Law
  • Legal Studies

Background:

  • Legal frameworks for diminished criminal responsibility vary significantly across jurisdictions.
  • Understanding these differences is crucial for international legal discourse and reform.
  • Existing literature lacks a comprehensive global overview of partial responsibility standards.

Approach:

  • Systematic review of contemporary penal codes from 18 civil law countries.
  • Analysis of legal standards, penalty reductions, and dispositions for diminished responsibility.
  • Survey of empirical data on the prevalence of diminished versus nonresponsibility.

Key Points:

  • Identifies specific legal standards and features of partial responsibility in diverse civil law systems.
  • Delineates associated penalty reductions and potential dispositions following a finding of partial responsibility.
  • Provides empirical data on the prevalence of diminished responsibility compared to criminal nonresponsibility.

Conclusions:

  • This article is the only known source compiling partial responsibility standards and sentencing consequences globally.
  • It offers a unique English-language comparison of Portugal's and Chile's approaches to diminished responsibility.
  • The comparative overview facilitates global discussion on recognizing and managing partial responsibility in criminal justice.
