abstract = {Current legal practice holds that a diagnosis of
psychopathy does not remove criminal responsibility. In
contrast, many philosophers and legal experts are
increasingly persuaded by evidence from experimental
psychology and neuroscience indicating moral and cognitive
deficits in psychopaths and have argued that they should be
excused from moral responsibility. However, having opposite
views concerning psychopaths’ moral responsibility, on the
one hand, and criminal responsibility, on the other, seems
unfortunate given the assumption that the law should, at
least to some extent, react to the same desert-based
considerations as do ascriptions of moral responsibility. In
response, Stephen Morse has argued that the law should
indeed be reformed so as to excuse those with severe
psychopathy from blame, but that psychopaths that have
committed criminal offences should still be subject to some
legal repercussions such as civil commitment. We argue that
consequentialist and norm-expressivist considerations
analogous to those that support punishing psychopaths or at
least retaining some legal liability, might also be drawn on
in favour of holding psychopaths morally accountable.},
