Which of the following refers to criminal intent ?
Answer: A
Criminal intent is mens rea.
Mens rea, 'guilty mind', is the mental element of a crime: intention, knowledge, recklessness or negligence, as the offence requires. Together with actus reus, the guilty act, it forms the basic structure of criminal liability, expressed in the maxim actus non facit reum nisi mens sit rea, the act does not make a person guilty unless the mind is also guilty.
Compos mentis (printed 'Compos men tis') means of sound mind, which bears on capacity rather than intent. Neurosis is a mental disorder and empathy is understanding another's feelings.
