Strict Liability

August 7, 2009 Criminal Law- 2 Es opine on Strict Liability Crimes Having no element for Mens Rea, consequently permits punishment on those that may be blameless to a crime. With that fact, there is definitely a wide range of controversial pros and cons. I personally am frank either way regarding this topic, for every and all concerns I feel are legitimate. What I will set forth here is unbiased thought and facts to all pros and cons.In this world there are many unfluctuating civilians and citizens that may encounter, in some form or another, an inconvenience, mishap or even loss on many degrees due to someones negligence or culpable indebtedness. Which will lead me to ones take on the pros or wellbeing to the existence of exacting liability crimes. First and foremost, when someone is hurt or harmed, they want recourse and they want it from whomever is liable, or from the closes person to that liable party. So they care nothing about ones blamelessness or mental intent, which i n this case the law would not hold prudent anyway.To them and to the law customary health and safety come first. For them an act alone is all that would in reality need to be proved. For if that were not the case, then the possible victims would not hold in any remedy under the law. Further more, the benefits to society outweighs the cost of heavy those that may have no true blame. As for the cons in austere liability offenses, one might argue that being held liable without inbred or objective fault may be a irreverence to the U.S. Constitution. Where this stipulation actually contradicts the Model Penal Code (MPC) etc. on criminal liability and the stature of concurrence. Further more, with there being no actual or effective means on protection against strict liability or accidents, leaves a broad range of exceptional blameworthiness. Where they could say we are the victims adversely this could jeopardize society and not protect it, and then curtail much human (especially professional) activities etc. at the fear of any possible culpable negligence. So here I have vindicatory a few to name the least, of pros and cons on strict liability. So as you see we all have some legitimate place or say in this very controversial matter. For all people individuals, civilians, families, cooperations, businesses, functions, guard force and all professionals have some form of risk here. everyplace all I think the law on strict liability is well needed and the sacrifices are well worth the gains for better of for worse.
