The psychopath has been described as a person suffering from moral insanity.
In modern society justice and order must be the foundations of the law. But what can be done for the man whose antisocial behaviour is the result of psychological abnormality? How responsible is the psychopath for his actions? And should he be treated medically against his will before his condition brings him into court?
Taking part are: A Consultant Psychiatrist and Derrick Sington
