"Crimes are wrongs whose sanction is punitive
and in no way remissible by an private person,
but is remissble by the Crown alone, if
remissible at all"
2. mens rea
A crime is done with a criminal intent.
3. actus reus
There should be an external act. The Act and
the mens rea should be concurrent and
related.
4. Injury
There should be some injury or the act should
be prohibited under the existing law. The act
should carry some kind of punishment.
2. Preparation
It is difficult for the prosecution to
prove that necessary preparation has
been made for the commission of the
offence. Eg: In case a person purchases
a pistol and loads it with bullets, it is
not possible to prove that the person is
carrying the pistol to kill some other
person.
3. Attempt
It is also known as the 'Preliminary
Crime'.
Section XXIII of the IPC, 1860 deals with
'of Attempt to Commit Offences' and
provides the punishment for attempt.
Essentials of Attempt
Guilty intention to commit an offence
Some act done towards committing the
offence
The act must fall short of the
completed offence
4. Accompolishment
This is the last stage in the commission
of a crime. The accused is guilty of the
offence only if he succeeds in his act.
Otherwise, he is guilty of attempt only.
1. Deterrent Theory
'Deter' means to abstain from doing at
act. The main objective of this theory is
to deter (prevent) crimes. It serves a
warning to the offender not to repeat
the crime in the future and also to
other evil-minded persons in the
society. This theory is a workable one
even though it has a few defects.
2.Retributive Theory
Retribute means to give in return. The
objective of the theory is to make the
offender realise the suffering or the pain.
In the Mohammedan Criminal Law, this
type of punishment is called 'QISAS' or
'KISA'. Majority or Jurists, Criminologists,
Penologists and Sociologists do not
support this theory as they feel it is brutal
and barbaric.
3. Preventive Theory
The idea behind this theory is to keep
the offender away from the society. The
offenders are punished with death,
imprisonment of life, transportation of
life etc. Some Jurists criticize this
theory as it may be done by reforming
the behavior of criminals.
4. Reformative Theory
The objective is to reform the behavior of
the criminals. The idea behind this theory
is that no one is born as a Criminal. The
criminal is a product of the social,
economic and environmental conditions. It
is believed that if the criminals are
educated and trained, they can be made
competant to behave well in the society.
The Reformative theory is proved to be
successful in cases of young offenders.
5. Expiatory Theory
Jurists who support this theory believes
that if the offender expiates or repents,
he must be forgiven.
The Indian Penal Code is a combination
or compromise between the underlying
principles of all these theories.
