Specific intent is intent to do the criminal act?
Specific intent (also known as dolus specialis) is an intent (mens rea) which goes beyond the constituant (physical) elements of the crime (the actus reus). For example genocide is considered to be an offence of specific intent; for a person to be found responsible for genocide they must not only commit on of the constituant acts (eg. extermination) but they must do so with the specific intent to destroy in whole or in part the victimised group. This differs from the intent required for most crimes eg. assault where there is a mens rea (intent) requirement but the intent required relates solely to performing the physical acts (actus reus) involved. Crimes of specific intent cannot be commited recklessly and in some jurisdictions cannot be committed while intoxicated.
