  • Summary

    The KCIR was extensively debated in social scientific and legal journals. It was also seriously considered in the era’s most powerful legal professional organizations as a general model for managing industrial disputes. However, support for and hostility to the KCIR cut across established ideological alignments: there was no setting where it did not provoke strong disagreement among influential figures. In economics, a heterogeneous group of institutionalists friendly to the KCIR were rebuffed by Kansas officials, while a coherent group of Wisconsin-connected economists articulated a strong case against it. In law, an ideologically diverse group of leading scholars and practitioners nearly succeeded in winning the Kansas Industrial Court Act’s formal endorsement as a uniform law. But an emergent alliance of academic reformers and elite corporate practitioners succeeded in banning its discussion in key organizational settings. The KCIR controversy hastened the end of the legal profession’s involvement in social legislation and helped extinguish American interest in labor courts.

    Impulse Control Disorders

  • Summary

    The American Law Institute (ALI) test stated that a defendant is insane if he lacks substantial capacity to appreciate the criminality of his conduct or to conform his conduct to the requirements of the law. Courts have historically viewed the use of impulse control deficits as a defense with a degree of skepticism. Patients with kleptomania have significant impulsivity and may have high rates of comorbid mood disorders, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, and personality disorders. When using a profiling technique in an attempt to determine if a defendant accused of theft suffers from kleptomania, the expert must use caution. Not every kleptomaniac will fit the typical psychological profile, and not every shoplifter who seems to meet the profile will have kleptomania. The kleptomaniacs did rate higher than the shoplifters on the feeling of inner tension before theft.
