Okay French,.. which is it? The mentally handicapped or the mentally ill you are speaking of. Being "slow" or "retarded" is a completely differant thing than being mentally ill. A physcopath is not the same as a person born with down's syndrome for example. If someone with the IQ of a 5 year old commits a crime it is because they were not being properly looked after. A sociopath on the other hand can mask their mental illness and has no remorse.
