Question

difference b/w ACTUS REUS and MENS REUS

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Mens rea is the intent a person has behind committing a crime. Typically, there has to be intent behind the crime, but this isn't required in every situation. For example, if a person has committed a crime that is a strict liability crime, the criminal intent element doesn't have to exist. In Tabitha's example, she purposely went after the other woman in the grocery store.

Actus reus is the action the person takes to perform the criminal act. This is the physical action behind the crime. One important thing to note is that, if the physical action is a reflex, this is not criminal. In Tabitha's example, she swung the broom to hit the other woman on purpose. It wasn't a reflex action on her part, so it met the criminal element.

Answer 2

HEY BUDDY
Here’s it:

ACTUS REUS means Guilty Act

For example:

Person named as “Arjun” saw unknown Wallet in parking lot and he stoles it.

SO IN THIS “ARJUN” DID A CRIME AND IS ACT IS ACTUS REUS

Therefore committing a crime is
ACTUS REUS



Person named “Arjun” saw unknown wallet and thought to steal it, But after few seconds he thought that if someone saw him stealing wallet than he would be in trouble. And he didn’t steals the wallet

SO, THINKING ABOUT A CRIME Is not committing crime.

Therefore it’s known as MENS REA
