mens rea: a guilty mind. Although as a general rule there must be a mind at fault before there can be a crime, it is not an inflexible rule, and a statute may relate to such a subject-matter and may be so framed as to make an act criminal whether there has been an intention to break the law or otherwise do wrong or not. 6, record 1, English, - culpable%20intent
