Det är vår föreställning av verkligheten som ger oss skäl att göra eller att inte göra vissa saker, och vår uppfattning om vilka följder vårt handlande kommer att få, får betydelse för om vi företar handlingen Mentally disordered offenders often do not have the same preconditions as others to follow the law as they may have a different perception of, or a different ability to reason about, reality.
