What is the general public opinion in your country regarding severe/violent crimes committed by people with mental disabilities or severe mental illnesses?
I know this can be a pretty sensitive topic.
I personally started wondering about this after watching Mikoto.
Of course, I realize the depiction of mental illness in that story wasn't handled with much delicacy or nuance on the author's part.
My main point is: within the broad category of crimes committed by individuals who truly cannot control themselves due to mental disabilities or illness, how does the public in your country generally view or react to these cases?
