Movies @ the Library NCR: Not Criminally Responsible Tuesday January 28 6:30pm to 8:00pm
There has been a quiet revolution in recent years in the treatment of people with mental disorders who commit an act of violence . Not long ago such patients would almost certainly have been considered hopelessly deranged and dangerous, and confined to an “asylum for the criminally insane� for life. Not anymore. Today people declared not criminally responsible are frequently being released back onto the streets, a number of them potentially extremely dangerous men and women, not only suicidal but homicidal. Most are incurable. While gripped by psychosis, a troubled young man stabs a complete stranger six times. Declared not criminally responsible on account of mental disorder, the young man is confined to a forensic mental health institution. Twelve years later, his victim is terrified to learn that he is living in the community under supervision. Presented by the National Film Board of Canada
