General issues

Abstract

The contribution reflects the concepts of imputability and personal responsibility, and aims to reflect on the relationship between neuroscientific evidence and deterministic logic in general. While research shows the neurobiological basis of many behaviors, opening a new way of interpreting the disease, diagnose and intervene on them, it also helps us understand how complicated it is to establish, in criminal cases, the degree of self-determination of certain types of people who commit crimes. It is believed that the complex nature of the act human, hence, also the deviant personality, the decisions taken at the level of delinquent and the results that follow, also in terms of criminal response, must be assumed that the "biological push" is not sufficient to explain this complexity.
