Preferred term

diminished capacity  

Definition

  • Diminished capacity refers to two distinct doctrines. The first, known as the mens rea variant, refers to the use of evidence of mental abnormality to negate a mens rea—a mental state such as intent, required by the definition of the crime charged (the mens rea variant). [Source: Encyclopedia of Psychology and Law; Diminished Capacity]
