In fact, most mental patients hurt themselves more, but why do some mental patients kill people? The following is what I recommend to you. Why do some mental patients kill people? I hope it will help you.
Why do some psychopaths kill people?
We often see some similar news. Teacher X was chopped many times by the students and died. A man can't kill his girlfriend just because he broke up. This kind of thing happens all over the world every day, but when it comes to the American imperialists, it becomes a gunfight movie. Therefore, if you encounter similar things in China, the chances of survival are still relatively large, at least there is no gun. Seeing this, Keyboard Man will say:? Mental illness is no excuse to kill! Mental illness and thinking ability, can control their own behavior! ? But in fact, most mental patients can't control their behavior. Here? Most? Including: depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, ADHD, autism and so on.
Just like one day you have a fever, can you tell your body? Well, I'm going on a business trip tomorrow, so I can't burn it now ? Do you think your body can control it? Many psychological problems are the same. A person with bipolar disorder may kick the child away because there is Xiong Haizi around him. While condemning this person, have you ever thought that this person can't control his emotions and behaviors at all? Of course, this person's behavior should be condemned, but neither he nor the people around him realize that this is not a personality or education problem at all, but that he has an emotional disorder. Depression and bipolar disorder are emotional diseases. Symptoms of emotional illness can lead to violent behavior, and one of the more common symptoms is: false beliefs? , equivalent to insanity.
Schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia may all exist? Wrong beliefs? . Dr. Chen was killed because the killer had this? Wrong beliefs? What is it?
Psychopaths? Wrong beliefs? It is not a common misunderstanding of a thing, but an idea that patients make out of nothing and are very difficult to correct. Patients will not use rational thinking to analyze whether this idea is wrong or not, and no matter how you correct it, you will not change your mind. This is different from sticking to your own point of view in a debate. In the debate, each side will use rational analysis to convince the other side to believe their own views. What about mental patients? Wrong beliefs? There is no logical reasoning, it must be like this anyway. In the role of the murderer, he may encounter some negative things, and then blame the yellow teeth. For example, if you are fired, it must be because that tooth has turned yellow. My wife divorced him because the tooth turned yellow. Father must be dead because that tooth turned yellow. Yes, the reason why normal people seem completely unreasonable must be so in their view. so this is it？ Wrong beliefs? . Do you think you can persuade him in this situation? Don't waste time. If ordinary people can convince them, they are not patients. Is this a repetition? Wrong beliefs? The patient thinks his life is dark, thanks to the doctor.
Another situation, auditory hallucination, may also cause the patient to kill. For example, innocent people are regarded as spies to catch him. Usually this kind of person is a little paranoid about being killed, thinking that someone is following him and trying to kill him. So we should take the initiative or protect ourselves. Schizophrenic psychosis, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia may all have auditory hallucinations. Schizophrenic psychosis with severe depression is more likely to hurt itself. Schizophrenic auditory hallucinations are usually funny. For example, a little brother in Weibo was arrested by the police a while ago and said that he was descended from aliens, and aliens would attack the earth. If he thinks he's not making it up, it's typical auditory hallucination. There is also one of the most common auditory hallucinations. Killing is taking drugs. Before, an American student from China was hit by a car and was shot by a drug addict after getting off the bus. Examples of drug abuse leading to auditory hallucinations and hallucination killings are very common in the United States (thanks to Fanny for reminding me).
There are also cases where emotional diseases can't control their violent emotions. For example, bipolar disorder is particularly easily aroused during manic episodes, and verbal violence and physical violence are common. There was a man crying on the Hong Kong subway because of the baby next to him. He threatened the baby loudly and kept shaking the stroller. This is probably bipolar disorder. Then how do we know if this man is bipolar or uneducated?
Generally speaking, if this man grew up in a village completely out of touch with Hong Kong culture, and people in the village are used to beating babies, then this man may do so because of parenting problems. But if you think about school education in Hong Kong, and even TV broadcasting, there is a lot of education about respecting the elderly and loving the young. Given that most people do well in this field, why doesn't this person? This is not just an educational problem, but an emotional disease.
The other is autism. Autistic people easily misunderstand that others want to hurt them, so some will carry knives with them and some will bite people. But all attacks are based on the misunderstanding that others want to hurt him. Of course, only a small number of patients will do this. There was once an autistic student J who took off his shoes and threw them at the teacher because L reminded him not to play video games in class. Some small things are a whole sky in the world of autistic people, so they try their best to protect themselves.
Finally, I have to mention antisocial personality/psychosis. Serial killers and rapists are usually like this. Don't think that they are born vicious. On the contrary, they may be mother's good children, teachers' good students and classmates' good helpers. Then one day, he killed his mother and chopped her up (does it sound familiar? )。 The terrible thing about such people is that they are usually difficult to find. But there is one thing in common: it is difficult for them to feel the pain of others, and they are generally born. Many studies have found that their brain scans are a little different. The amygdala (the area that controls emotions and pain) is particularly fragile. If you like watching horror movies, please refer to? Saw? ,? Hannibal? Wait a minute.
How can we avoid more injuries?
Of course, most mental patients hurt themselves more, and only a few hurt others. But besides killing people and committing suicide, we should pay more attention to how to integrate them into society. Our urbanization makes more and more mental patients, and the bigger the city, the more. Because urbanization has brought great pressure to people's lives. Most mental patients are congenital+acquired, with congenital genes, and acquired stress and blow lead to illness. Immigration, work pressure, pressure to enter a higher school, love and so on are all acquired factors. What I want to emphasize here is immigration. If you don't have excellent psychological quality, please think carefully, because without familiar friends and family circles, a person has to bear and face many things, and his coping ability has also weakened a lot.
How to help mental patients and reduce social discrimination is the core method to solve contradictions. China people, right? Mental illness? These three words were discolored by the wind. It is generally believed that once you are diagnosed with mental illness, you will be locked up and take medicine, and you will not be able to live a normal life for a lifetime. This is an absolutely wrong understanding. Any mental illness can be effectively controlled as long as it is found and treated early. Even for life-long incurable diseases, such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, drug therapy and psychotherapy at the same time can greatly improve the quality of life of patients. Patients have the ability to work and live normally. In China, for fear of discrimination, most people don't know the basic knowledge of these diseases, so they have to go to the hospital only in very serious cases, or even if it is serious, no one cares, resulting in anyone on the street may become a victim.
Of course, the cost of seeing a doctor is huge, and patients are usually unable to work because of illness, so naturally they will not go to see a doctor without income. This requires the government to provide them with free help. Many mental diseases can be seen at school, and control is the best from now on. Therefore, European and American countries, and even the Hong Kong government, invest a lot of money every year to follow up students who need special counseling. If we don't help them, in the future, they will probably become marginalized people, unemployed, poor and mentally ill.
Extended reading:
Can a psychopath really escape murder?
Buy a mental illness certificate and get away with it?
Psychiatric card, the official name is "Disabled Card". This syndrome is not only found in some mental patients, but also in people with hearing disability, visual disability and physical disability. The only difference is that their disability category codes are different.
It is illegal to buy and sell mental illness certificates; What's more, it is not cost-effective to spend hundreds of thousands to open a mental illness certificate. Because, whether there is a mental illness card or not is not directly related to whether it can be exempted from punishment.
Even if there is proof of mental illness, after the patient commits a crime, he still needs to make a mental judicial appraisal again. The final basis of a judge's sentencing is the result of judicial expertise.
Mental illness is not equal to the gold medal of impunity.
However, holding a certificate of mental illness may have an advantage: it will increase the chances of starting a forensic psychiatric appraisal.
In criminal cases, criminal suspects or their families or lawyers may apply for psychiatric expertise. At this time, if you can produce proof of mental illness, you may be able to let the case-handling unit re-evaluate the necessity of identification.
Someone must want to ask: mental illness can prove the condition, but it is not necessary to do judicial expertise.
No, mental patients are not all innocent.
The reporter interviewed Professor Zhang Aiyan, who teaches at the School of Criminal Justice of Shandong University of Political Science and Law. She is the author of the book "Judgment of the Criminal Responsibility Ability of People with Mental Disorders".
She said:
At present, China's criminal law adopts a "three-point method" for the criminal responsibility ability of mental patients. That is, no criminal responsibility at all, limited criminal responsibility and complete criminal responsibility. The popular understanding is:
Exemption from punishment due to illness;
Given a lighter or mitigated punishment due to illness;
The verdict is as usual.
There are differences in the criminal responsibility ability of mental patients.
So, how to judge what kind of criminal responsibility the mental patient has?
Not only what kind of mental illness he has, but also the severity of his illness.
Zhang Aiyan explained:
After judging what kind of mental illness the criminal suspect suffers from, if it is found that the patient completely lacks the ability to identify or control the harmful behavior, it is "completely incapable of criminal responsibility"; On the other hand, those who have not completely lost their ability to identify or control are "limited criminal responsibility".
There are two important concepts involved here.
Concept 1: What is recognition ability?
That is, the ability to identify the nature, consequences or illegality of one's actions.
Some mental patients have killed many people, but they think they are cutting monsters or helping others go to heaven, that is, they have lost their ability to recognize; Some patients are in remission and are mentally normal. When they commit a crime, they naturally have to bear the responsibility.
Concept 2: What is control ability?
Refers to the actor's ability to control himself to implement or not to implement a specific behavior.
For example, some people who are addicted to theft will find it difficult to steal something worthless, knowing that it is wrong, but they just can't help stealing. They can argue that they are affected by the disease and cannot control their desires. However, if this person is drunk and causes death, his condition obviously does not affect driving, and he is definitely unable to get rid of criminal responsibility.
The reason for impunity is that it hurts people like wild animals.
Some mental patients simply don't realize that they have committed a crime, or they can't control their crimes. No matter how severely punished, they will still go their own way.
Like a tiger in the mountains, running into the city to kill people. Should I be sentenced to life imprisonment?
However, mental patients commit crimes and do harm to others. Many people even think that it seems too "cheap" to exempt them from punishment.
In this regard, Professor Zhang Aiyan's explanation is:
It is meaningless to punish mental patients who have no ability to identify and control.
What we need to understand is that the main purpose of punishing criminals is to prevent illegal crimes.
This has two meanings:
Prevent criminals from committing crimes again;
Play an educational and deterrent role in society and prevent others from imitating crimes.
Criminal liability can be exempted, but civil liability cannot escape.
The realization of criminal responsibility is mainly punishment, and the realization of civil responsibility is mainly compensation. Mental patients do not have to bear criminal responsibility, but civil responsibility cannot be shirked. For example, including but not limited to the following situations:
Patients with mental illness hurt others and have to pay medical expenses;
Damage to other people's goods, compensation according to the price;
Those who encroach on other people's property shall be returned in full.
If the mental patient has no property or the property is insufficient for compensation, the guardian shall bear all or part of the liability for compensation.
In addition, although you don't have to go to jail, it doesn't mean that a mentally ill criminal who is violent but completely incapable of criminal responsibility is at large. In addition to civil compensation, some mental offenders will be sent to the hospital for compulsory treatment.
China's criminal law and criminal procedure law stipulate that such criminals should be ordered to be strictly guarded and treated by their families or guardians; If it is still possible to continue to endanger social security, compulsory medical treatment can be given.
Compulsory medical treatment refers to sending the above mental patients to Ankang Hospital and other specific places for treatment and monitoring. After admission, the hospital will diagnose and evaluate them regularly. Only patients who are no longer in personal danger and have been approved by the people's court to lift compulsory medical treatment can be discharged from the hospital.
How do we deal with the attack of mental patients?
Some friends are worried that people are mentally ill, so they can't fight back when they are attacked, and they can't say goodbye when they are beaten.
That's not true.
1. Being chased by a mental patient can be defended and prosecuted.
In the street, people have the right to self-defense when they meet mental patients who hurt people.
If you know that the other party is a mentally ill person without criminal responsibility, you should try to avoid being infringed; If you don't know that the other person is mentally ill, or you can't avoid the infringement, you can defend yourself appropriately.
2. After being injured by a mental patient, you can bring a lawsuit as usual.
Doesn't mean that the other party is a mental patient and can't sue. After being injured by a mental patient, you can file a lawsuit as usual. After all, not all mental patients are not criminally responsible.
In addition, if the body is injured or property is lost, you can also claim compensation from mental patients.
