Thank you, this has simplified the points our lecturers should have so well.

[osamashaaban]

Thank you so much. You simplified a complex area of law in a very understandable way!

Actually, technically there exists an exception to your formula and that is in the case of inchoate crime, such as attempt, conspiracy, and solicitation. In all these (Mens Rea) cases the actual physical component (actus reus) has not been carried out, but as they are related to a substantive crime, they are therefore indictable offenses under the law.

[AMiah-jzuu]

Actus reus + no mens rea) = can convict via strict liability. Would this include omission, possession and situational crimes?

[drjmapple]

How do you go about discovering mens rea?

At 4:30, The slide said that there can be no conviction if the "actus reus" is missing from the offence element. What I would like to know is, isn't that a complete contradiction to what happens in the case of a 'conspiracy' charge? Please clarify.

[junehaugen]

First of all, thank you for these videos! I was just wondering, in one slide you mention that actus reus and mens rea both have to occur, but in another you mention that there can be a conviction when there is an actus reus even though there is no mens rea. How does that make sense?

[stevevoyles]

Remember you are guilty untill proven innocent..

Can a person representing an organization be sued for criminal offense due to a negligence of official duty on the part of the person? How is the evidence found?

[LiveitupwithOmer]

These are not the elements of criminal law these are the elements of crime.. Dont propage wrong information

[lancefairbank]

so a person can have an intent to kill someone and not actually kill them and not be convicted?

[misheckchagadama]

With the aid of relevant authorities, explain in detail the components of an offence
