The reason for this is simple: everything that the person does is attributed to the illness. Even attempts to be genuinely funny or make a joke may not be taken serious because one may be seen as just fooling around. Also, even at times when the individual even seems to be serious and is trying to do ...

Abstract

This paper gives an insight to the classification of crimes. It also establishes the employment of doctrines such as Mala Prohibita, Mala in Se, Mens Rea, and strict liability in classifying such crimes. Within the paper, two laws are discussed and analysed as per these doctrines to give a clear picture and distinction of the doctrines.

Introduction

Therefore, Crime-deciphering deliberations compel investigators to realize the disparities between crimes consistent with the criminal’s setting, the crime scene ...
