Responsibility And Disease is a book written by John Hutton Balfour-Browne in 1873. The book explores the relationship between mental illness and criminal responsibility. Balfour-Browne argues that individuals suffering from mental illness should not be held fully responsible for their criminal actions, as their illness may have impaired their ability to make rational decisions. The author also examines the legal and ethical implications of this issue, and suggests potential reforms to the criminal justice system to better address the needs of mentally ill offenders. The book is considered a pioneering work in the field of forensic psychiatry and remains relevant to modern debates surrounding mental health and criminal responsibility.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
