The purpose of this study is to introduce relevant proposals based on scientific developments of representatives of the legal doctrine of the Republic of Kazakhstan and foreign researchers. A comparative analysis of statistics and practices has demonstrated that neonaticides committed by mothers constitute a high latency crime. The study reached the conclusion that the term state of mental disorder is not clearly defined in the criminal legislation of Kazakhstan. This necessitates the incorporation of foreign legal and psychiatric scientific discoveries in the psychological study of mothers committing neonaticide. It is essential that courts and politicians focus on issues of justice, gender issues in delivery of judgement, and the contingency of serial or repeated neonaticide among mothers.
