According to AN SurveyA charity that supports and advocates the family affected by mental health murder cases is killed by an average of 65 psychosis patients each year. Between 2018-2023, 390 mental health patients in the UK committed or suspected murder or murder.
The result comes afterwards Independence Report The treatment of Valdo Calocane exposed a series of NHS failures. Schizophrenic A person who killed three people at Nottingham in 2023.
Murderer Knife and Axel Rudakubana -In 1724, he tried to die by stabbing three small girls at the South Port in 2024– wild discussion In a wider society of people with serious mental health problems. According to many people, they seem to have no one.
Carl with knife and Luda Cuban had a label on me. “wicked”,,, “Sadistic” and “coward”In the middle Updated phone Restoration of death penalty.
When Rudakubana was sentenced to at least 52 years in January 2025, Judge Goose said: “Who can do what they have done?
Public opinions such as CaloCane and Rudakubana look clear. They are monstersIt can cause misery for others. At best they do not deserve to live among the right people. In the worst case, they do not deserve to live at all.
Now both are known Knife and Rudakubana I was treated for serious mental health problems, but I stopped my relationship with health services before committing a crime. In the eyes of many people -included Media commentator,,, Politician and Portrait -The serious mental health diseases do not affect someone’s responsibility for their actions.
As a human being, I consider a tremendous sorrow around the story, such as the CaloCane’s and Rudakubana’s. As a study that specializes in society Cultural perspective of mental healthI regard it as a profound frustration and perhaps even failed. I will explain why.
Problem of responsibility
The main reason why people with serious mental health problems are customary and unable to repay evil and repay. We keep believing People must always take responsibility for their actions. This is a terrible simple view.

Anyone who worked in the mental health field knows that people’s hearts have many examples of all intentions and purposes. Like CaloCane, it is suffering Overwhelming Like SchizophreniaFor example, I often do not understand reality I interfered with moral reasoning.
Some people with serious mental health problems Indicates danger to yourself And others. But this does not mean they should be thrown away “Lock”. What they need is the support of truly integrated, effective and reliable mental health system.
All those who were cruel by the victims of Kalo and Luda Cubana, family and crime were disappointed in this point of view. But the same was true of CaloCane and Rudakubana. The concept of “stopping the charm” of the pair is The disadvantages of the system It should be rooted in diligence, volunteer activities and continuous follow -up measures.
But uncomfortable ideas are uncomfortable, but most of the responsibilities here are not for murderers. Those who did not support them And the lives of others and their own devastating themselves. Ultimately, it sometimes The most terrible result.
When the result is not enough
Many studies have shown a way to experience a disease similar to psychosis. Do not choose “evil”. They do not experience terrible delusions about the surrounding world. They do not choose to endure the hallucinations that tell you to do terrible actions.
But the wider public seems to have little or no interest in such discoveries. Surprisingly, the same is true of many policy makers. Their knowledge and opinions are likely to be formed by rhetorical and kneeling blame instead.
This is the core of the main challenges of scholars and research communities in my field. We must accept that research is often insufficient.
A few years ago, in collaboration with Aardman Animations, studios with home names such as Wallace and Gromit and Shaun The Sheep were produced. A series of short films Emphasize the mental health of young people. In a few months, the film reached more than 17 million audiences. I wrote it as another effort to convey the word recently. Wonders of the doctorA novel that explores the remaining propensity of society to treat people who are isolated and suffering With the maximum destruction.
Neither of them can say that the study is meaningless, but it is worth it if the insights they provide are greatly ignored, especially if there is a great value in the case of the most special importance.
With a sound that does not help mental health and “monster” It comes outThe lesson is clear and familiar. The best way to talk about the cost of withdrawing our social duties to those who suffer from stigma, responsibility and serious mental illness is to include society as a whole. The same applies to the general public as well as mental health communities, police and judicial systems.
