Explain the difference between crimes of criminal conduct and crimes of criminal intent?
Generally, most crimes require a "mens rea" or intent requirement. For example, murder generally requires that you intended to cause the death of a person. However, there are some crimes that do NOT require an intent to commit the crime. Those crimes are much more uncommon and include such crimes as manslaughter. You didn't' intend to cause the death of another person, but your negligent actions resulted in a death.
Why do you not commit crimes?
There are several good reasons why you shouldn't commit crimes. The first and foremost is that you will end up in prison or jail and sharing a cell with a fellow named Bubba who will not treat you nicely. These places that hold people who commit crimes are not good places. The next reason is it is morally wrong. The foundation of the human is the morals that they should have learned and follow in life. When a crime is committed not only does the person doing something wrong, but they hurt others in the process. They hurt the person or person who they did the crime against, they hurt family and friends, and they hurt society. Finally, it is against the law which leads us back to the first point and prison.
According to one scholar as much as what percentage of crimes are precipitated by the victims?
Victims precipitate 0% of all crimes. The decision to commit the crime is still made by the perpetrator and always precipitated by that person. No matter how dumb, naive, careless, greedy, or even guilty of a crime the victim may be, the person who decides to commit the crime against them is still the perpetrator and the person who was subject to the crime is still the victim. The percentage of occurrence that the perpetrator is the only victim of their own crime is negligible, and that person is still the perpetrator.

Dead people usually don't commit too many crimes either but with the way the US is headed, it may not be long before the act of dying becomes some sort of offense.
