单词 Criminal responsibility
释义 刑事責任
1. The concept that individuals with the capacity to make voluntary and intentional choices to act criminally, understanding the significance of the choice should be held liable. A person is criminally responsible for his conduct if the prescribed state of mind (mens rea) is also present. However, a person may be excused from criminal responsibility if his or her ability to act voluntarily, intentionally, and to understand the nature of their actions has been impaired by a mental state such as automatism or insanity: Criminal Procedure Ordinance (Cap 221) s 74. In murder cases, a person shall not be convicted of murder if the defence proves he suffered from diminished responsibility: Homicide Ordinance (Cap 339) s 3. 2. At common law, a child is entirely exempted from criminal responsibility until the day before his seventh birthday: Juvenile Offenders Ordinance (Cap 226) s 3. See also Child; Diminished responsibility; Mens rea; Murder.
