Abstract：
A recent governmental report has suggested that the notion of insanity, which has not been a relevant concept in Swedish criminal law for the last 50years, should be reintroduced into the criminal justice system. This move has generated a debate over the most appropriate criteria to be included in a legal standard for insanity. We consider the fundamental question of whether a legal standard is required when introducing insanity, by looking at a legal system in which legal insanity is available but where no standard is used: The Netherlands. Overall, a review of advantages and disadvantages leads to the conclusion that such a standard is necessary. What exactly should that standard be? Is the development of different \"grades\" of insanity desirable? Legal considerations concerning what is essentially a legal notion should predominate in making these determinations-informed by psychiatric and other relevant scientific findings.
摘要：
最近的一份政府报告表明，精神错乱的概念，在过去的50年里，这在瑞典刑法中一直不是一个相关的概念，应该重新引入刑事司法系统。这一举措引发了一场关于精神错乱法律标准中包含的最合适标准的辩论。我们考虑的基本问题是，在引入精神错乱时是否需要法律标准，通过查看可以使用法律精神错乱但没有使用标准的法律体系：荷兰。总的来说,对利弊的审查得出这样一个标准是必要的结论。该标准到底应该是什么？是否需要发展不同的精神错乱“等级”？在通过精神病学和其他相关科学发现来做出这些决定时，有关本质上是法律概念的法律考虑应占主导地位。
