Asperger's Disorder has the potential to be relevant to many aspects of the functioning of the criminal justice system. However, its mere presence does not excuse or justify all offending. The inquiry into its potential relevance to criminal offending and sentencing must be both contextual and informed by suitably qualified expert evidence. This column reviews court decisions in respect of offences of physical violence, sexual violence, arson, stalking/harassing and computer offences across a range of jurisdictions to evaluate how courts have latterly incorporated Asperger's Disorder into decisions about criminal responsibility and culpability.
阿斯伯格综合征有可能与刑事司法系统运作的许多方面相关。然而，仅仅存在该综合征并不能为所有犯罪行为开脱或辩护。对其与犯罪及量刑潜在相关性的调查必须结合具体情况，并依据具备适当资质的专家证据。本专栏回顾了一系列司法管辖区内关于身体暴力、性暴力、纵火、跟踪/骚扰及计算机犯罪等罪行的法庭判决，以评估法庭最近如何将阿斯伯格综合征纳入有关刑事责任和罪责的判决中。
