Abstract: Objective To explore a more scientific and ob- jective method to assess the cognitive and volitional capacity in psychotic offenders. Method Correlate analyses and stepwise discriminant analyses were conducted for 239 cases to inspect the discriminant facts of cognitive and volitional ca- pacity in psychotic offenders. Results There were some dif- ferences between the discriminant facts of cognitive and voli- tional capacity, but both had significant correlation with crimi- nal responsibility. The discriminant facts of cognitive capacity include psychiatric diagnose, realistic motivation, object selec- tivity of commiting an offence, shirking responsibility after commiting an offence, impairment of self-sustaining and impair- ment of reality testing. The discriminant facts of volitional ca- pacity include psychiatric diagnose, realistic motivation, aura before commiting an offence, object selectivity of commiting an offence, shirking responsibility after commiting an offence, im- pairment of work or learning ability, impairment of insight, im- pairment of reality testing and impairment of self-control. The results of discriminant equations of cognitive and volitional ca- pacity had a high consistent with the result from experts. Con- clusion It is suggested that the discriminant equations of cog- nitive and volitional capacity be used in the assessment of re- sponsibility for psychotic offenders. [
