A statute that proclaims that an individual is guilty of a crime is known as a "strict liability statute." These laws do not require proof of intent or knowledge regarding the commission of the crime; simply engaging in the prohibited conduct is sufficient for a conviction. Strict liability statutes are commonly applied in regulatory offenses, such as environmental violations or certain traffic offenses.
