Reviews
Legal Insanity and the Brain enriches our understanding of the nuance and complexity associated with the intersection of law and neuroscience and makes a novel contribution to the debate...the collection provides a rigorous and accurate introduction to the regulation of legal insanity and the presentation of expert evidence in Europe and the United States. The reader who is unfamiliar with these themes, and who is looking for an updated account of the most recent proposals in this area of criminal law, will find an extremely valuable resource in this volume. -- Chloe Deambrogio, University of Oxford * European Journal of Health Law *
Those interested in any aspect of criminal law and procedure and those interested in any aspect of scientific evidence will find this book worth their time and attention. Those who are particularly interested in the insanity defense will find in it a bonanza of new, provocative and thoughtful ideas. We are pleased to recommend it. -- Michael L Perlin and Alison J Lynch * Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books *
