According to the Italian Judicial System, a child under 14 years of age is not criminally responsible. A minor, less than 18 but over 14 years old, can bear criminal responsibility only if competent. This paper discusses some of the clinical aspects of establishing sanity/competency (‘compos mentis’) or insanity/ incompetency (‘non compos mentis’) and the legal and clinical implications of declaring an adolescent offender insane – Can he/she be imprisoned? Hospitalized? Should he/she be treated any differently than a non minor under the same circumstances?
