Question

Give two example of Actus Reus.

Answer 1

Answer:

In the legal system, the question of whether a crime has been committed is generally decided by pairing whether an actual act or omission took place, with the mental state of the accused. These individual elements, actus reus, and mens rea, make up what are referred to as “constituent elements,” or component parts, of a crime, and in almost all cases, both must be present.

Examples of Actus Reus

In almost every crime it is necessary for the prosecution to prove that some action of the defendant’s resulted in the effect, which is a criminal act.
