Does the un-imputability have any bearing on the attribution of malice? Possible repercussions on security measures

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze whether, in cases where the accused has a mental disorder that prevents them from knowing the nature of their conduct, such condition should be considered exclusively in the seat of guilt, or whether it should be taken into account when defining whether the subject may or may not be attributed to fraudulent conduct, thus in the seat of subjective imputation of the conduct. For such effects, the problem of the conditions that must be considered relevant at the time of attributing the fraud and the role that the conditions of the individuality of a subject should play is mainly addressed. Finally, it is analyzed whether or not the consideration of such conditions in the case of subjective imputation should bring any consequence when determining whether a security measure can be imposed on the un - attributable party.
