Abstract:

Humans naturally discern purpose from unexpected outcomes. Small toddlers typically learn "I didn't mean to" as an excuse. Thus, pure supposition suggests that the ancient law held men accountable exclusively for their purposeful wrongdoings. All evidence suggests otherwise. "Law in its earliest days tries to make men answer for all the obvious ills their deeds cause"[1] It is sometimes believed that there is one state of mind common to all crimes, however other crimes need a different mental ingredient. The presumption is: “State-of-mind-X is common to all crimes and is sufficient for many, b

Penerapan unsur mens rea dalam kasus tindak pidana korupsi di Indonesia tidak seragam. Sebagian penegak hokum menggunakannya untuk pembuktian, sebagain lagi tidak menggunakan.

Niat (mens rea) adalah elemen penting dalam hukum pidana Indonesia yang berperan dalam menentukan tingkat pertanggungjawaban pidana seseorang.

Abstract:

The fight against corruption is a national and international primary concern for lawmakers and enforcement officials. Corporate criminal liability is an aberration of imputing criminal responsibility on a corporation against a natural person, which requires a combined effect of the actus reus and mens rea. A corporation incapable of committing a crime imputes corporate mens rea through its directors, senior managers or officers that constitute executive powers. In doing so, Malaysia uses the identification doctrine to impute mens rea. This article evaluated the most effective technique of esta

Abstract:

AbstractIn English law, mens rea terms can be defined differently depending on the context. This article attacks this approach, arguing that it pays insufficient attention to the criminal law's twin needs to communicate effective guidance to citizens who wish to avoid punishment, and to control the discretion accorded to the criminal law's institutions. It would be preferable to have clear definitions of mens rea terms applied uniformly across the criminal law. If there are gaps, these ought to be filled by additional mens rea terms. The practical issues raised by this argument are considered

Abstract:

<strong>ABSTRACT</strong> <em>This paper examines the evolving role of mens rea (the "guilty mind") in criminal liability, focusing on its historical roots, contemporary challenges, and doctrinal shifts. Traditionally central to criminal justice, mens rea ensures that only morally culpable actors are punished. However, modern legal systems increasingly prioritize policy objectives, such as public safety and regulatory efficiency, over strict adherence to subjective fault. Through a comparative analysis of case law from India, the UK, and the US, alongside statutory trends, this study argues th

Abstract:

There are many categories of action to which specific acts belong only if performed with some particular intention. Our commonsense concepts of types of action are sensitive to intent—think of the difference between lying and telling an untruth, for instance—but the law is replete with clear and unambiguous examples. Assault with intent to kill and possession of an illegal drug with intent to distribute are both much more serious crimes than mere assault and mere possession. A person is guilty of a crime of attempt—attempted murder, for instance, or attempted rape—only if that person had the i

There are cases which hold that the mens rea required is a specific intention to kill, and that nothing else suffices. However, some cases hold that an intention to cause grievous harm and recklessness are also sufficient. Unfortunately, the Court of Appeal, the apex court

The slogan that criminal liability requires an ‘act’, or a ‘voluntary act’, is still something of a commonplace in textbooks of criminal law. There are, it is usually added, certain exceptions to this requirement— cases in which liability is in fact, and perhaps even properly, imposed in the absence of such an act: but the ‘act requirement’ is taken to represent a normally minimal necessary condition of criminal liability. Even offences of strict liability, for which no mens rea is required, require an act: thus to the familiar slogan that actus non facit reum nisi metis sit rea we can add the
