| 单词 | Degree of force |
| 释义 | 使用暴力的程度 In criminal law, the amount or level of force used in committing a crime. The degree of force applied in self-defence is that which is reasonably necessary: Palmer v R [1971] AC 814; R v McInnes [1971] 3 All ER 395, 55 Cr App Rep 551 (CA); R v Cheung Kwok Wai (CACC 271/96, unreported). The test is not purely objective and account is taken of the state of mind of the accused, the jury must consider whether the accused actually believed that he was in danger and compelled to act in the manner that he did and whether in all circumstances that was reasonable: Palmer v R, supra; R v Chan Ming [1975] HKLR 666; R v Man Wai Keung [1992] 1 HKCLR 89 (CA); R v Leung Yuet Man [1991] 1 HKLR 300 (CA); Cmr of Police v Coroner of Hong Kong [1997] HKLRD 509. See also Assault; Self defence. 在刑法上，指在犯罪時所使用武力的程度。自衛時所使用武力的程度應是合理所需的：Palmer v R [1971] AC 814；R v McInnes [1971] 3 All ER 395, 55 Cr App Rep 551（芵國上訴法院）；R v Cheung Kwok Wai（刑事上訴1996年第271號，未經彙報）。此驗證並非純粹客觀，而是須顧及被告人的心態，陪審團則必須考慮被告人是否實際相信他／她自己有危險及因而不得不以他作出的方式行事，並須考慮有關行為在所有情況下是否均屬合理：Palmer v R, supra；R v Chan Ming [1975] HKLR 666；R v Man Wai Keung [1992] 1 HKCLR 89 （上訴法庭）；R v Leung Yuet Man [1991] 1 HKLR 300 （上訴法庭）；Cmr of Police v Coroner of Hong Kong [1997] HKLRD 509。另見 Assault; Self defence。 |
