Abstract

Lone terrorists’ trials very often include long discussions on the mental health of suspects. This article offers a critical analysis of the mental health categories that are used in lone terrorists’ trials. By examining how the judicial concept of “insanity” collided with the psychiatric classification of mental illnesses in Breivik’s and Kaczynski’s trials, I suggest that lone terrorists’ trials can be understood as ritualistic devices whose latent function for society is to reaffirm its progressive values. This is done through the consolidation of a cognitive prototype of the category of the “insane reactionary terrorist.”

  • I don’t understand the headline stating “Are they going to use Mental Hlth….”? They ALREADY ARE!!!! Many journalists and others who try to stand against them get “Sectioned” as they call it in UK, allows UK Gov to lock up, and drug ANYONE they want to, for 30 days assessment, at 30 days another assessment, and that continues for years!

    In US they recently tried to do similar to ex-CIA lady that “blew whistle” and tried giving her the standard brain killer of Prozac, Largactil cocktail, it causes amnesia type things to happen, but takes the person OUT! Errrm this has been going on for at least 50yrs that I CAN Prove!
