Criminal Law

Question 8 • Law Studies - B

What of the following elements must be present to make an action a crime? (Select all that apply.)

Answer
A
The action must be immoral.
B
The action must be prohibited by law.
C
The action must be violent.
D
The action must be taken by choice.

Explanation

An action is criminal only if it is prohibited by law, and criminal liability generally requires a voluntary act—something the person chose to do. The action does not have to be immoral or violent; many crimes are nonviolent, and morality alone does not make conduct a crime.
