Résumé
L’appellation NRC (non-responsabilité criminelle) subit d’importantes modifications législatives qui accordent une plus grande attention à la sécurité publique et aux renseignements pour les victimes et qui visent également la création de la désignation « à haut risque ». Au Canada, cette appellation a un historique contradictoire qui accentue la complexité à superposer les structures thérapeutique et punitive. Les dernières modifications à la désignation NRC sont une réaction punitive aux réclamations du grand public quant à sa sécurité et à sa protection, ainsi qu’à une perte de confiance dans la capacité de la psychologie et des disciplines connexes à traiter et à gérer les accusés atteints de troubles mentaux. Par conséquent, l’appellation NRC a acquis une rhétorique punitive malgré le fait qu’elle est formulée en dehors du système de sanctions.

Abstract
The not criminally responsible (NCR) designation is undergoing significant legislative changes that will see a greater focus on public safety and information for victims as well as the creation of a « high risk » status. The NCR designation has an inconsistent history in Canada that highlights the complexity of straddling therapeutic and punitive frameworks. This latest development in NCR’s formulation is a punitive response to the perceived clamour by the general public for safety and security and a loss of faith in the psy sciences ability to treat and manage mentally ill accused. In turn, the NCR designation has taken up the punitive rhetoric despite it being framed outside the system of punishment.

Resumen
La denominación NRC – en francés – (ausencia de responsabilidad criminal) atraviesa importantes modificaciones legislativas que acuerdan una gran atención a la seguridad pública y a las informaciones para las víctimas, y definen igualmente la creación de la designación « alto riesgo ». En Canadá, dicha denominación posee una historia contradictoria que acentúa la complejidad, al superponerse las estructuras terapéutica y punitiva. Este desarrollo más reciente de la denominación NRC es una reacción punitiva a los reclamos provenientes del público general en cuanto a su seguridad y protección, igualmente que a la perdida de confianza en la capacidad de la Psicología y de las disciplinas conexas para tratar y dirigir a los acusados afectados por trastornos mentales. Por consiguiente, la denominación NRC ha adquirido una retórica punitiva, a pesar de que ha sido formulada fuera del sistema de sanciones.
