The conservative advocacy of the US conservatives says that strict liability breaks contribute to overcriminalization – lawyer – lawyer

The conservative Advocacy Group reform on crime asked the legislators to reform the report published on Thursday about the requirements of the criminal state in federal codes. The report also criticized the spread of laws that do not require a specific mental state that contributes to over-criminalization in the country.

The right to crime claims that “the criminal law adopted by the congress was given an explosion and issued by federal authorities”, in which the REA requirements of the gentlemen were deliberately left out. It was argued in the newspaper that the growth of the Federal Law and the lack of REA requirements of men by “KReat[ing] Cynicism and indifference to the entire criminal law. “

The report also argued that the prerequisite for a men's reaction in every federal criminal criminal was to help to eliminate the over-criminalization and abuse of the discretion of the public prosecutor. Seven recommendations were given, including executive measures, new laws that the legal requirement of criminal law, the adoption of the lenality rules, which would force the courts to interpret in favor of the accused, and the persecution of the crime volume to better inform the legislator and the public.

The “Herren Rea” element is a prerequisite for criminal law that a accused has a certain mental state in which a crime is found to be guilty. The REA requirements of the men are considered fundamental to criminal law. Examples are requirements for “malicious intentions” in the pursuit of murder systems or requirements of the first degree, which a defendant “knowingly” uses a certain behavior that is liable in other crimes.

On the other hand, strict crimes of liability are crimes in which a defendant is simply based on whether the forbidden activity has occurred or not. As a rule, they are rare or unfavorable for their lack of flexibility if they are applied to very different facts because they do not consider what a person thought or intended when they have committed a certain action. Nevertheless, the large number of “strict liability” has now risen the Federal Register in which the federal laws are published, from 16 pages in 1936 to an average of 70,000.

Compared to the traditional conservative approach “hard in crime”, the right to crime crimes is from a tax perspective and underlines the high costs for detainable criminals. The group is concerned with working for inexpensive approaches to improve public security without imprisoning criminals without violence and low -risk.
