ELEMENTS OF CRIME
Awareness of Duty
Sally became enraged that another girl down the street had the same exact pink hair-bow as her. Her first instinct was to attack the other girl from down the street, but her awareness of the law resulted in her not attacking the other girl in fear of being arrested.
Criminal Intent
The investing executive Richard Barrelsome was sued of giving bad advice to clients on buying certain stock and futures. The reason for this lawsuit was that Barrelsome was receiving kickbacks for each stock and future bought, and therefore was actively acting on the intent to partially defraud investors. Thus, it is noted that Barrelsome had criminal intent while advising his investors.
Violation of Duty
