Study Notes
Legal Definitions of Crime
- A crime is an act against public law, either committed or omitted, defined as a felony or misdemeanor.
- Act of Commission: Performing an act that violates a law.
- Act of Omission: Failing to perform an act required by law.
- “Nullum crimen, nulla poena sine lege” emphasizes that there can be no crime or punishment without a pre-existing law.
Key Legal Principles
- Actus Reus: The physical act or conduct that constitutes a crime, must occur alongside prohibited action or neglect.
- Mens Rea: Refers to the mental state of the perpetrator, indicating criminal intent or a wrongful purpose during the commission of the actus reus.
- A causal link between the criminal act and resulting harm is essential for establishing liability.
Impact of Crime
- Crimes negatively affect victims and community values, contributing to social instability.
- Individual biological and psychological factors may predispose a person to criminal behavior, as proposed by various theories.
Biological Perspectives on Crime
- Taft’s View: Heredity plays a significant role in criminal behavior; the notion of familial patterns exists (e.g., “Like Father, Like Son”).
- Hooton’s Research: Studies physical traits of criminals to identify behavioral differences.
- Positivist Theory: Explores mental and physical conditions before and after crimes to explain motivations.
Psychological Needs and Crime
- Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs: Addresses the importance of basic needs (physiological, safety) that must be fulfilled before higher-level psychological needs are attended to. Deprivation can lead to criminal behavior.
- Freud's Influence: Describes how psychological imbalances (id, ego, superego) may cause deviations from societal norms leading to crime.
Sociological Factors Influencing Crime
- Environmental factors: Location, resources, and climate can influence criminal behavior.
- Cohen's Theory: Institutions (education, religion, politics) notably affect the prevalence of crime.
- Park's Biotic Grouping: Migration, competition, and social conflict can lead to crime.
- Merton's View: Economic hardship drives individuals to commit crimes to fulfill basic necessities.
Legal Classifications and Characteristics of Crime
- Crime can be categorized based on:
- Manner of Commission: Techniques used to execute the crime.
- Stage of Commission: Phases through which the crime is carried out.
- Plurality: Whether a crime involves multiple actions or perpetrators.
- Gravity of Penalty: Severity of the punishment associated with the crime.
Various Criminological Classifications
- Classifications include considerations of:
- Time or period the crime was committed.
- Length of time the crime occurred.
- Place or location of the crime.
- Use of mental faculties during the commission of the crime.
Legal Accountability
