The Criminal Insane In The United States And In Foreign Countries is a book written by Samuel J. Barrows in 1898. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the criminal justice system in the United States and other countries with a particular focus on the treatment of the criminally insane.

The book also explores the legal and ethical issues surrounding the treatment of the criminally insane, including the use of the insanity defense in criminal trials.
