Controllability
Controllability is u. a. a legal term of criminal law on the question of culpability . The ability to control is lacking if the perpetrator is unable to act in accordance with the understanding of the injustice despite an awareness of wrongdoing . It is only to be checked if the perpetrator has either seen or was able to see the illegality of the act ( Section 20 StGB ).
It can be absent in alcoholics , especially in the case of existing organic brain damage, but also in the case of profound sexual dependence, delusion, exo- and endogenous psychoses , other pathological mental disorders and the interplay of several individual disorders that can already be subsumed individually, such as intoxication psychoses.
In movement science, the term is understood to be a coordinative ability that enables the actor to precisely shape his or her movements.
