- W2278571295 abstract "The Three Faces of Evil offers a novel theory about the civil confinement of the mentally ill and dangerous. Contrary to the ways in which most theorists conceive of this practice, Colb argues here that such civil commitment imposes the very harms we associate with criminal incarceration, but without the corresponding criminal-procedure protection against preemptive detention. This review essay disputes the claim of Professor Elyn Saks and others that civil confinement relieves the confined mentally ill patient of the stigma of moral blame and is therefore preferable to a prison sentence. On the contrary, Colb demonstrates various ways in which blame can be and is routinely attached to those who are unable to control their anti-social impulses due to mental illness. Examples include the harsh sentences imposed on recidivists, post-prison civil confinement of sexually violent predators, and the narrowing of the insanity defense to exclude those whose mental illnesses deprive them of the capacity to control their destructive behavior. Furthermore, Colb suggests that classifying mentally ill people as “dangerous” is far from a value-neutral, objective enterprise of empirical description of an individual. It instead represents a judgment about interactions between people in which violence is likely to occur and a normative decision about which person in the interaction should bear the costs of that likely violence. Citing such doctrines as “fighting words” within the First Amendment, the “heat of passion” manslaughter defense in criminal law, and traditional attitudes toward victims of sexual violence (who were thought to have “asked for it” through “provocative” dress and behavior), Colb suggests that potential victims of unjustifiable violence have often expected to absorb and take responsibility for the risk of others’ unjustified violence. Colb proposes that we ought to embrace a more consistent approach to danger and avoid the denigration and stigmatization of the mentally ill that is inherent in a system that leaves “dangerous” people alone until they act, except when those people happen to suffer from a mental illness." @default.
