Question:
There are four stages of a crime-Intention, preparation, attempt and commission. Ordinarily, which of the following stage (s) do not give rise to any form of criminal liability.
Options:
intention
preparation
attempt
intention and preparation
Correct Answer:
intention and preparation
Explanation:
Any Crime has a few key stages to it – Intention, preparation, attempt and commission. Ordinarily, the first two stages (intention and preparation) do not give rise to any form of criminal liability. This implies that merely having an intention to commit a criminal act is not punishable, nor is making preparation for the same. Liability in criminal law arises when one goes beyond the stage of preparation and attempts to do the forbidden act.
