criminal responsibility, not guilty for the reason of insanity
Sažetak
We describe the legal possibilities for the treatment of criminal case offenders, and especially the offenders found not guilty for the reason of insanity (OFGRI). The treatment of the criminal case offenders in Croatia is regulated by the special legal acts, and is dependent on the expert opinion of a psychiatrist (court expert). The judge can send a person for a psychiatric treatment (together with the prison sentence or parole) only in criminal case offenders found being of significantly diminished responsibility. In case of alcohol dependence or any other type of psychoactive substance dependence the treatment is regulated by special Criminal code articles, no matter what was the criminal offence. Offenders found not guilty for the reason of insanity are not considered guilty and no criminal or legal punishment is allowed to be used. The treatment of these offenders is regulated by the Act on protection of people with mental problems. The first version of this Act was published at the end of 1997, and implemented on the 1st of January 1998. There have been several changes in the Act, mainly regarding the outpatient treatment. After the final decision of the court in the case of the OFGRI persons, the court sends a person for the involuntary hospitalization in one of the four forensic institutions in Croatia (Popovača, Vrapče, Ugljan and Rab). There are 380 beds altogether in all the four institutions. The treatment can be, according to this Act, either outpatient or inpatient.
