<font color="darkblue"> I wonder how many disordered ppl plot and plan something over and over and over in their minds, fully thinking their plans are rational the whole way through, can still recall them after the fact? I'm not thinking that dissociation is a requirement of insanity, though certainly in many cases it is a component in crime.

With regards to "all" the people in prison being disordered...well, by societal definition, YEAH. In fact, there is even a misdemeanor crime of "disorderly conduct."

I'm not posting to try and cause readers to begin to think just like me (though, I must admit at times I think that would be nice ) but to really begin deep thinking on things. This subject especially requires no less. imo.

I can't quote the studies, they are surely old by now and I have no idea what became of the stats and if more recent studies countered the original ones, but it was determined at the time that the majority of prisoners who had violent crime histories also had personal history of head trauma. Hmmm
