NATIONAL LEGAL AND POLICY FRAMEWORK CONCERNING DEFENDANTS AND PERSONS DEPRIVED OF LIBERTY WITH INTELLECTUAL AND/OR PSYCHOSOCIAL DISABILITIES IN LAW AND PRACTICE 67 3.2.5. LEGAL CRITERION The court decides whether the legal criterion is fulfilled, which is defined by two features – intellectual and volitional. The former means a person’s inability to understand the essence of their actions or omissions, it is a mental state that deprives a person of the ability to fully perceive the essence and danger of their actions.83 The latter criterion is about a person’s ability to control their actions. This criterion is established when a person's will is violated due to a mental health condition or state of mind, i.e., a person is aware of the danger of their actions, but because of their mental state they cannot overcome the urge to commit a dangerous act. The most common mental health conditions of this type are kleptomania and pyromania.84 Legislation does not provide an exhaustive list of mental health conditions that may lead a person to misunderstand the essence of their actions and be found not criminally responsible. It is not enough to identify any mental health condition during the examination, it is necessary to assess its severity, impact, influence on a person's ability to understand or control their actions, and how their condition affects a person's thinking, behaviour, and awareness.85 Soloveičikas, D. and Švedas, G.
