Till-räknelighet kan även benämnas som ansvarsförmåga vilket redan förutsätts i bedömning enligt svenskrätt vilket har kritiserats i fall med psykiskt störda lagöverträdare då skuld kan ifrågasättas.

Instead, the assessment of criminal intent is made in the same way for mentally disturbed as for mentally sane offenders. However, in the assessment of intent, there is a general requirement for awa
