Book Review:
David A.J. Richards, Insanity and Criminal Justice (reviewing Norval Morris’ Madness and the Criminal Law), 61 TEXAS L. REV. 1557 (1983).
 

Abstract:
Morris’ Madness and the Criminal Law deals generally with the disconnection between the standards of legal and moral guilt. Richards examines this proposition, as well as Morris’ attack on the insanity defense and his proposed theory of just sentencing. Richards concludes that, like Morris’ previous works, Madness and the Criminal Justice is a valuable contribution to criminal justice scholarship. He praises Morris’ careful use of argument and evidence, and notes that the particularly intriguing element of the book is its treatment of the human heart and conscience.
