Work sheet chapter 8

1) Provinces have no criminal law making authority under the constitution they have
the power to make laws regulating conduct in areas that fall within the provincial
law making jurisdiction.
2) An example of a law that has been created or changed because of society
changing is driving and using cell phones at the same time. Years ago, this was
never a problem but not because of a new technology age things have changed.
3) the intention or knowledge of wrongdoing that constitutes part of a crime, as
opposed to the action or conduct of the accused.
4) law, intent is one of three general classes of mens rea necessary to constitute a
conventional, as opposed to strict liability, crime
5) action or conduct that is a constituent element of a crime, as opposed to the
mental state of the accused.
6) The crown must prove that the accused person applied force directly or indirectly
to the victim and that and that the force was applied without the victims consent.
7) Motive is the reason someone acted a certain way they can use this to figure out
why someone would commit a crime
8) Wilful blindness is closing ones mind to the consequences to there actions.
9) There are two types of incomplete offenses the first is the attempt to commit a
criminal offense which means they did not actually go through with it. And
conspiracy to commit a criminal offense.
10)Aiding and abetting is a legal doctrine related to the guilt of someone who aids or
abets in the commission of a crime. This means that someone who did not take
part in the actual doing of the crime can still be charged with aiding and abetting.
11) a person who incites or assists someone to commit a crime
12)First-degree murder: any intentional murder that is willful and premeditated with
malice aforethought
13)the crime of killing a human being without malice aforethought, or otherwise in
circumstances not amounting to murder.
14)Theses are offenses that involve property of someone this would include things
such as theft and breaking and entering.
15)Provocation is a defence was created by the criminal coded 232 and can only be
used as a defense from murder.
Duress is a defense that includes statutory and a common-law aspect.
Self defence is when someone must use force to defend them selfs.
16)What most surprised me was how provinces have no criminal law making
authority.
17)What I found most interesting was learning the definitions and the smaller details
about them like aiding and abetting. How you can be charged without actually
doing the crime
18)
I will most likely remember the definitions I found them more interesting
then the other chapters
