Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the various levels of aggressive behaviour in the form of motor and emotional activity in schizophrenics that affect cognitive abilities and perceptions, as a basis for objective consideration of law enforcement officials to determine whether the offender is capable of being responsible or not. The research method is paradigm of the principle of guilty in criminal liability. Data were obtained from law books and psychiatric nursing, journals of laws and psychiatric nursing, and Judge’s Decision. The results showed that schizophrenics have aggressive behaviour problems due to impaired cognitive abilities and perceptions, thus affecting the ability to make decisions, distinguish right from wrong, and recognize himself. The instrument used to evaluate patients was PANSS-EC, based on this instrument there were five different degrees of schizophrenia, namely mild, moderate, somewhat severe, severe and very severe. If the patient falls into the category of mild and moderate then he can be asked for criminal responsibility, if the patient is categorized as rather severe then he can be asked for criminal responsibility only that the pain can be a reason to reduce the penalty, if the patient is categorized as severe and very severe then he cannot be asked criminal liability, and should undergo rehabilitation.
