                                                              1. Crim behaviour thought as result = "sickness needed "cured'
                                                              2. Linked to Normal vs Pathological
                                                                1. 'Mad' or 'Bad'

                                                                      1. Humans capable of conceptual thought but - limited capacity to make choices & control our behaviour.
