Record 2 2009-07-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Penal Law
  • Criminology
CONT

Common-law Larceny, for example, requires both the physical act of taking and carrying away the property of another and the mental element of intent to steal the property. Similarly, common-law Burglary requires breaking and entering into the dwelling of another with an intent to commit a felony therein. These crimes and others that require a specific-intent element are called specific-intent crimes and are distinguished from general-intent crimes.

CONT

Specific intent crimes, however, require a certain mental state ("mens rea") to break the law. One such offense, for example, is residential burglary.

OBS

The term specific intent is commonly used in criminal and Tort Law to designate a special state of mind that is required, along with a physical act, to constitute certain crimes or torts. Specific intent is usually interpreted to mean intentionally or knowingly.
