Some remarks on the relation of Epilepsy and Crime
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 February 2018
Extract
The question of the relation of epilepsy and crime acquired considerable prominence in the early part of the present year in connection with the trial of “Regina v. Hitchins.”* The defendant in this trial, the epileptic lad, who fatally shot his sister at Weston-super-Mare, is now an inmate of Broadmoor Asylum. A short time after his admission three other male patients were received who were also the victims of epilepsy; they, too, had committed acts of homicide which had engrossed a considerable share of public attention.
