Tóm tắt

Liệu những kẻ phạm tội có tâm thần xã hội hoặc những người thể hiện các hình thức hành vi chống xã hội cực đoan có nên bị coi là chịu trách nhiệm hình sự? Cuộc tranh luận hiện tại dường như đã đạt đến bế tắc. Một số học giả đã lập luận rằng dữ liệu thần kinh tâm lý về các cá nhân có tâm thần xã hội có thể liên quan đến việc xác định trách nhiệm hình sự của họ. Tuy nhiên, việc dựa vào dữ liệu như vậy chưa tạo ra được sự đồng thuận giữa các học giả pháp lý và triết học về việc liệu những cá nhân có tâm thần xã hội có nên được miễn trách nhiệm không. Chúng tôi đưa ra một chẩn đoán về lý do cuộc tranh luận này đã đạt đến bế tắc. Chúng tôi lập luận rằng một phần của vấn đề là tâm thần xã hội, với tư cách là một thể loại dựa trên hội chứng, quá không đồng nhất và do đó cung cấp triển vọng thấp cho việc tích hợp với dữ liệu thần kinh tâm lý có thể hỗ trợ các kết luận quan trọng về trách nhiệm hình sự của các cá nhân có tâm thần xã hội. Hơn nữa, khái niệm tâm thần xã hội ban đầu không được xây dựng để phân biệt giữa những cá nhân phạm tội có khả năng chịu trách nhiệm và những cá nhân chống xã hội không chịu trách nhiệm. Để vượt qua những khó khăn này và thúc đẩy cuộc tranh luận, chúng tôi mở rộng một khung lý thuyết hiện tại ít được thảo luận về việc kết nối sinh tâm lý học và pháp luật, tập trung vào các khái niệm, lĩnh vực và quy trình thần kinh tâm lý có thể đo lường trực tiếp năng lực của những kẻ phạm tội liên quan đến trách nhiệm hình sự, mà không nhất thiết phải dựa vào các khái niệm hội chứng làm trung gian. Đổi mới của đóng góp của chúng tôi là các cơ sở sinh tâm lý của việc miễn trách nhiệm có thể được phát triển thêm và sử dụng để xác định các phân loại tinh vi hơn của các loại nhân cách chống xã hội. Chúng tôi chỉ ra cách mà khung này cung cấp các hướng dẫn cho nghiên cứu liên ngành có thể thúc đẩy đáng kể hiểu biết của chúng ta về các điều kiện tiên quyết cho trách nhiệm hình sự và hỗ trợ thực tiễn pháp lý trong việc phân bổ hoặc từ chối nó.
