The document discusses various offenses against justice and public administration. It covers common law misdemeanors such as bribery, perjury, resisting arrest, obstruction of justice, compounding a crime, escape, and contempt. It also examines modern statutes that have expanded on these offenses. Bribery statutes now cover influencing any public official, not just those related to justice. Perjury requires knowingly making a false statement under oath that is material to the matter. Obstruction of justice encompasses any acts that impede police or justice.
Criminal liability requires an actus reus (guilty act) and mens rea (guilty mind). An act must be forbidden by law and committed intentionally or knowingly to constitute a crime. There are different stages of a crime - intention, preparation, attempt, and commission - but only the last where the criminal consequences are realized is punishable. The measure of criminal liability considers the motive, magnitude of the offense, and character of the offender. Common types of punishment include imprisonment, fines, and in some places corporal or capital punishment. The objectives of punishment are deterrence, prevention, reformation, and retribution, as well as compensation for victims.
This 3-page document contains definitions and examples of offences and defenses in English Common Law and applies to Commonwealth countries like the UK, NZ and Australia. Useful for beginner Law and Forensic Psychology students.
Mens rea, or guilty mind, is a necessary element for criminal liability. It refers to the mental state or intention required for a crime. The general rule is that a crime requires both an act (actus reus) and a guilty mind (mens rea) to constitute an offense. However, there are some exceptions where strict liability crimes do not require intent. Mens rea takes different forms like intention, knowledge, recklessness, or negligence depending on the crime. It has evolved from early legal systems where liability was strict to modern standards that require assessing an individual's mental state.
To be found guilty of a criminal offence in Canada, two elements must be proven: actus reus (the physical act) and mens rea (the mental element of intent). The Crown prosecutor must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused committed the prohibited act (actus reus) with criminal intent or knowledge (mens rea). Some regulatory offences are strict liability, requiring only proof of the act, while absolute liability offences do not consider intent at all.

· And the three elements of criminal conduct consist of: Conduct that is; Without justification and; Without excuse.
The Elements of Criminal Liability
The drafters of criminal codes have four building blocks at their disposal when they write the definitions of the thousands of crimes and defenses that make up their criminal codes.
These building blocks are the elements of a crime that the prosecution has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt to convict individual defendants of the crimes they’re charged with committing:
· Criminal act (actus reus)
· Criminal intent (mens rea)
· Concurrence
· Attendant circumstances
· Bad result (causing a criminal harm)
All crimes have to include a criminal act (actus reus or “evil act”, also the physical element in crime).
· The vast majority of minor crimes against public order and morals don’t include either a mental element (mens rea) or the element of causation, or conduct that causes a bad result.
Most of the offenses that don’t require a mens rea do include what we call an attendant circumstances element. Attendant circumstances element is a “circumstance” connected to an act, an intent, and/or a bad result.
Serious crimes, such as murder, sexual assault, robbery, and burglary, include both a criminal act and a second element, the mental attitudes included in mens rea. Crimes consisting of a criminal act and a mens rea include a third element, concurrence, which means that a criminal intent has to trigger the criminal act.
We call crimes requiring a criminal act triggered by criminal intent “conduct crimes.” Don’t confuse criminal act with criminal conduct as we use these terms.
A criminal act is voluntary bodily movements w.
The summary is as follows:
1. The U.K. Bribery Act of 2010 aims to overhaul the U.K.'s bribery laws and go beyond the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act in several respects, such as prohibiting both commercial and public bribery.
2. The Bribery Act imposes strict liability on corporations for failing to prevent bribery by persons associated with the corporation, unless the corporation can prove it had adequate procedures in place to prevent such bribery.
3. Key differences between the FCPA and the Bribery Act include: the Bribery Act prohibits facilitation payments, imposes liability on both parties

Criminal cases make up a large portion of cases tried in U.S. courts. Criminal cases are bought against persons for violating federal, state, and local laws. Suspected criminals are given many rights by the U.S. Constitution and state constitutions. Parties in the United States are free from unreasonable searches and seizures of evidence, and any evidence obtained illegally is considered tainted evidence and cannot be used in court. People who are suspected of a criminal act may assert their right of privilege against self-incrimination and may choose not to testify at any pretrial proceedings or at trial. Parties have a right to a public trial by a jury of their peers. In addition, if convicted of a crime, the criminal is free from cruel and unusual punishment.

Introduction to Criminal Law and Cybercrime
For members of society to coexist peacefully and for commerce to flourish, people and their property must be protected from injury by other members of society. Federal, state, and local governments’ criminal laws are intended to afford this protection by providing an incentive for persons to act reasonably in society and imposing penalties on persons who violate the laws.
There can be no equal justice where the kind of trial a man gets depends on the amount of money he has.

Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, was accused of sexual assault by two women in Sweden in 2010 and faced extradition to Sweden to face questioning over the allegations. He sought asylum at the Ecuadorian embassy in London in 2012 to avoid extradition. He remained in the embassy for nearly 7 years before being arrested in 2019 for breaching his bail conditions as the UK worked with the US to extradite him for his role in publishing classified US documents on WikiLeaks.
Civil Detentions and the Penological Justifications for Punishment - Why The...Lawrence Cisneros
The U.S. government affords undocumented immigrants with less regard than non-citizen terrorists captured in battlefields across the world. Enemy combatants are appointed counsel after being detained by U.S. armed forces abroad for terrorist activities. Undocumented immigrants in the United States, toiling often in sweat-shop like conditions, and all the while paying taxes, are not appointed a lawyer if placed in deportation proceedings, nor receive assistance from legal aid organizations.
This document discusses several key concepts in criminology, including:
1) Criminology is the scientific study of crime and criminal behavior using interdisciplinary approaches including sociology, psychology, and other fields.
2) There are different perspectives on what constitutes a crime and how crime is defined, including consensus, conflict, and interactionist views.
3) Criminologists study various aspects of crime including developing theories of causation, examining criminal justice systems, analyzing crime data, and understanding criminal behavior.
4) There are ongoing debates around defining crime and how the criminal justice system operates.

This Presentation is not intended as a substitute for personalized
legal advice from a qualified immigration attorney.
This Presentation is intended to give a general overview of Crimes
Involving Moral Turpitude, which could result in Deportation.
If you are not a U.S. Citizen and you have been charged with a
crime, or if you are already facing Deportation due to a Criminal
Conviction, you should consult with a qualified immigration
attorney in your area for advice and possible representation.

3. Criminal Convictions &
Immigration Status
If you are residing in the U.S. and you are not a U.S. Citizen,
certain Criminal Convictions could result in negative
consequences with respect to your immigration status, which
include:
Deportation from the United States.
Refusal of Admission back into the United States after
temporary foreign travel (a/k/a Exclusion or Inadmissibility).
Denial of an Application for immigration benefits such as
Lawful Permanent Resident Status.
Denial of an Application for Naturalization (Citizenship).
4. Deportability vs. Inadmissibility
When a non-citizen individual is found to be “inadmissible”, this
means that he can be refused admission (lawful entry) into the
United States at a port of entry, or denied an immigration benefit,
such as naturalization, or adjustment of status to permanent
residence.
When a non-citizen individual is found to be “deportable”, this
means that he is physically present in the United States, but can
be ordered removed/deported from the United States.
Certain criminal convictions can make an individual inadmissible,
deportable, or both.
5. Classification of Crimes
There are several classifications of Criminal Convictions that
can result in Deportability or Inadmissibility:
Crimes Involving Moral Turpitude (“CIMT”).
Aggravated Felonies.
High Speed Flight.
Controlled Substance-Related Crimes.
Crimes Involving Firearms.
Domestic Violence Crimes.
Miscellaneous Crimes.
6. Convictions & Deportation
This Presentation will focus on the issue of which crimes can be
classified as Crimes Involving Moral Turpitude (“CIMTs”).

classifications of crimes, the consequences of which could
include Deportation, Exclusion, and Denial of Immigration
Benefits (such as citizenship or permanent residency)
7. Need not be a “conviction”
In most cases, a criminal charge must result in a “conviction”
before it can lead to inadmissibility or deportability.
However, in the case of Crimes Involving Moral Turpitude
(“CIMTs”), an individual could be found inadmissible even when
there has not been a “conviction”.
If an individual admits to an immigration officer or consular officer,
that he has committed a CIMT, or if he admits to having committed all
of the acts that make up the “essential elements” of a CIMT, he could
be found to be “inadmissible”.
By contrast, to be found deportable, an individual must have been
“convicted” of a CIMT.
8. “Essential Elements” of a CIMT
The “essential elements” of a crime are all of the acts, omissions,
or intentions, that the prosecution must prove in order to show
that a crime - as defined by the criminal code - has been
committed by a defendant.
The criminal code (or statute) is the written law as enacted by the
federal, state, or municipal legislative body, that defines what acts
or omissions are considered to be criminal conduct.
For an individual to be found guilty of having committed a crime,
the prosecution must show that ALL of the “essential elements”
of the crime have been committed.
9. “Essential Elements” of a CIMT
(an example)
For example, under Illinois law, the crime of “theft” is defined as
follows (from 720 ILCS 5/16-1):
A person commits “theft” when he or she knowingly:
obtains or exerts unauthorized control over property of the owner . . .
AND
intends to deprive the owner permanently of the use or benefit of the
property.
(Note: the full statute includes other possible alternative elements, but
the above excerpt gives a complete list of “essential elements” for one
version of the crime of theft as defined in the Illinois Criminal Code)
10. “Essential Elements” of a CIMT
(an example - continued)
In the above example, note that the “essential elements” are listed
in bold print:
i. knowingly
ii. exerts unauthorized control over the property of the owner
iii. with the intent
iv. to deprive the owner permanently of the use or benefit of the property
If any of the above elements are absent, then the crime of theft has
not been committed.
For example, if the accused did not have the intent to deprive the
owner permanently of the use or benefit of the property (i.e. his
intention was only to “borrow” the property), then he has not
committed a theft.
11. “Essential Elements” of a CIMT
(an example - continued)
Similarly, if the exercise of control over the property of
another is not unauthorized, then a theft has not been
committed:
i.e. the owner of the property authorized (gave
permission to) the accused to exert control over the
property
12. “Essential Elements” of a CIMT
(an example - continued)
Using the above example (the crime of “theft” in Illinois), if an
individual admits to an immigration officer or consular officer that
he has (i) knowingly (ii) exerted unauthorized control over the
property of an owner (iii) with the intent (iv) to deprive the owner
permanently of the use or benefit of the property, then the
individual can be found to be “inadmissible”, even if he has never
been convicted of the crime of “theft”.
(It is important to note that such an admission must be voluntary,
and the individual must have been provided with a definition of all
of the “essential elements” of the crime prior to his admission,
before a finding of “inadmissibility” can be made.)
13. “Conviction” required for
“Deportability”
As noted above, although admitting to the “essential
elements” of a CIMT can lead to a finding of “inadmissibility”,
a conviction is still required before a CIMT can lead to a finding
of “deportability”.
14. When is it a “conviction”
It is important to note that a “conviction” for immigration law
purposes may not be the same as a “conviction” under the
criminal laws of your state. If you have been charged with a
crime, and the criminal court disposed of the charge with an
order other than a “conviction” – or if the case is still pending
and the prosecutor offers an alternative disposition instead of
a “conviction”, in exchange for your plea of guilty - you should
consult with a qualified immigration attorney to determine
whether it will be considered a “conviction” for immigration
law (Deportation) purposes.
15. “Conviction” Defined
For Immigration Law purposes, under the Immigration and
Nationality Act (“INA”), a “Conviction” is defined as
follows:
A person has been “convicted” of a crime if a criminal court
(judge) has found that person guilty and has entered a
formal judgment of guilt against that person.
In some cases, even if the court has not entered a formal
judgment of guilt, a person may still be considered to have
been “convicted” (for immigration law purposes) if the
person was found guilty, or has entered a plea of guilty, and
the judge has entered some form of punishment or restraint
on the person’s liberty (for example, an order of Probation
or Supervision).
16. Which Dispositions are NOT
Considered “Convictions”?
The following dispositions of criminal charges are NOT
considered to be “Convictions” for immigration law
purposes:
Acquittals and other findings of “Not Guilty”.
Charges that have been dismissed by the prosecutor.
Cases resulting only in the imposition of court costs.
Certain diversionary programs where the defendant agrees
to participate in some rehabilitative or other program,
without an admission or finding of guilt.
Certain cases in which a conviction has been vacated on
due process or constitutional grounds (and not solely to
avoid immigration consequences).
17. Crimes Involving Moral Turpitude
The term “Crimes Involving Moral Turpitude” (“CIMTs”)
refers generally to a range of crimes that are considered to
be base, vile, or depraved. The characterization is based on
the “evil intent” or “corrupt mind” of the perpetrator of
the crime. While there is no clearly defined list of crimes
considered to be CIMTs, they are usually those crimes that
involve fraud or dishonesty, sex crimes, and those crimes
involving serious harm or injury to another.
18. CIMTs and “Inadmissibility”
When an individual has been “convicted” of a CIMT, or has
admitted to an immigration officer or consular officer that
he has committed a CIMT, or that he has committed all of
the “essential elements” of a CIMT, he will be
“inadmissible”.
19. “Petty Offense” Exception
If an individual has been convicted of only a single CIMT,
and that CIMT is considered to be a “petty offense”, then
the individual will not be “inadmissible”.
A CIMT is considered to be a “petty offense” when the
maximum possible penalty for the crime is less than one
year of imprisonment and when the actual sentence
imposed is less than six months of imprisonment.
20. CIMTs and “Deportability”
For a CIMT to be a “deportable” offense:
i. the alien must have been “convicted” (see
above);
ii. the CIMT must have been committed within 5
years of the alien’s admission into the U.S.; and
iii. the CIMT must also be one that is punishable by a
sentence of one year or more (even if the actual
sentence is less than one year).
21. Multiple CIMT Convictions
A non-Citizen may also be Deported if he has been
convicted of two or more CIMTs “not arising out of a
single scheme of criminal misconduct”
Under this section of the law, the crimes can have been
committed at any time after admission into the U.S. In
other words, unlike Deportability for a single CIMT
conviction, there is no requirement that the CIMTs have
been committed within 5 years of admission into the
U.S. to render the alien Deportable.
22. Examples of CIMTs
Some examples of crimes that have been found to be CIMTs:
Robbery
Arson
Fraud
Assault resulting in serious bodily injury
Sex Crimes (an alien may also be Deportable for failure to
register as a Sex Offender if required to do so by law)
Retail Theft
(the proper determination of whether a crime is a CIMT may vary
from state to state and may require analysis by a qualified
immigration attorney)
23. Domestic Violence & Related Crimes
An alien will be Deportable if, at any time after admission to the
U.S., he is convicted of a crime involving:
Domestic Violence;
Stalking;
Child Abuse, Child Neglect, or Child Abandonment; or
the Violation of an Order of Protection.
A crime of violence will be considered “Domestic Violence” if it is
committed against the perpetrator’s spouse, against a person
with whom the perpetrator has a child, or against a person who
resides with the perpetrator.
(Note: A conviction for Domestic Violence may also make an
individual “inadmissible” or “deportable” as a CIMT.)
24. Deportability and Relief from
Removal
Due to space limitations, this Presentation is necessarily an
incomplete and generalized overview of Crimes Involving Moral
Turpitude. If you have been charged with or convicted of a crime, or
are facing Deportation Proceedings for a Criminal Conviction, you
should consult with a qualified immigration attorney to determine:
Whether the conviction can be classified as a Crime Involving
Moral Turpitude (“CIMT”);
Whether you can vacate the conviction to avoid inadmissibility
or deportation; and/or
Whether you are eligible for any other form of Relief from
Removal, such as Cancellation of Removal, or a Waiver.
25. Conclusion
If you are not a U.S. Citizen, and you have been charged with or convicted of
a crime, it is important that you consult with a qualified immigration
attorney regarding your options and how the charge or conviction may
affect your status in the U.S., including the possibility of Deportation.
If you have been arrested, even if you believe you were not convicted, you
may still wish to consult with an immigration attorney, as the definition of
“conviction” for immigration law purposes may differ from the definition of
“conviction” under the laws of the state in which you were arrested.
