Abstract
This article summarizes the limited number of data-based research studies relating to the insanity plea that are to be found in the literature. Although some tentative conclusions might be made concerning some aspects of the plea's operation, the limited data base available makes these conclusions highly tentative and demonstrates the need of much further research in this area.Keywords
