Definición

  • In the Anglo American system of criminal justice, most crimes have at least two minimum elements: actus reus, the criminal act or omission, and mens rea, the required mental state (the so-called guilty mind). In the crime of murder, for example, taking the life of another human being is the criminal act (actus reus). [Source: Encyclopedia of Crime and Punishment; Criminal Defenses]
