The charter from year 1826 demanded the court to obtain a medical certificate when the perpetrator had been declared to be insane. The regulation required though actions from the court and with that also a willingness to act. In the regulation from year 1929 the doctors where given a greater position in the legal proceedings. The regulation conveyed compulsory examinations in some occasions and medical opinions would otherwise be obtained when a reason to believe that a base for impunity existed.
At the regulation from year 1991 one could rather see a decline in the great position the doctors had received in the regulation from 1929. The examinations are today only allowed to be obtained to determine if the conditions for certain rules in the penal code are at hand. The perpetrator also must have admitted the crime he or she has been accused of and the penalty should be expected to be greater than a fine.
The alterations between the regulations depend upon the climate in which the regulations did supervene. The cause of the changes is difficult to ascertain and an amount of different elements may have been affecting. Some of these elements are being declared in this essay. Among them are ideological ideas, the emergence of the psychiatry, the reliance to science and political theory and balancing of interests. (Less)
