Cevap

B FalseInsanity is not entirely separate from criminal responsibility. In legal contexts, insanity can be a defense to criminal charges if it is proven that the defendant was unable to understand the nature of their actions or distinguish right from wrong due to a severe mental disorder at the time of the crime. This can affect criminal responsibility by potentially leading to a verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity, which acknowledges the impact of mental illness on the individual's ability to be held legally accountable for their actions.
