| 单词 | Irresistible impulse |
| 释义 | 不可抗拒的衝動 An involuntary inclination to act, due to mental illness, which prevents a person from being able to control his or her actions, even though the person may know and appreciate that doing the act is wrong or unlawful. Irresistible impulse is not, of itself, a defence: A-G (SA) v Brown [1960] AC 432, 1 All ER 734. However, evidence of an irresistible impulse may be relevant in deciding whether a disease of the mind was present if there is medical evidence that it is a symptom of a particular disease of the mind: A-G (SA) v Brown, supra. Also known as ‘uncontrollable impulse’. See also Automatism; Diminished responsibility; Disease of the mind; Insanity; M’Naghten Rules. 要作出非自願性作為的傾向，因患精神病而阻止某人對自己的行為作出控制，雖然該人可能知道並了解該作為乃不當或非法的。不可抗拒的衝動本身並非一項抗辯理由：A-G(SA) v Brown [1960] AC 432, 1 All ER 734。然而，在判定是否有精神方面的疾病時，如有醫學證據證明不可抗拒的衝動之證據，乃某特定疾病的症狀，則該證據可能為有關聯的：A-G(SA) v Brown, 見上文。另稱「不可控制的衝動」。另見 Automatism; Diminished responsibility; Disease of the mind; Insanity; M’Naghten Rules。 |
