At the origin of non-imputability, according to the aspiring reforming legislator
Abstract. Among the intentions of the legislator of the last forty years, there is the reformation of the defining model aimed to the verification of non-imputability due to a defect of mind. At the state, this model appears insufficient to incorporate scientific progress on the theme of mental disorders. With this contribution, we therefore purpose to offer a reasoned review of the proposals and draft laws related to this aspect of criminal law, with the aim of stimulating further reflections about the opportunity of revising the current legislation as soon as possible, capitalizing– as far as possible– the work already done but never completed.
