Actually it is two terms, actus reus and men's rea. Actus reus means a crime occurred and men's rea means there was guilty intent. Both must be present together in order for a prosecution to occur.

What are the five elements of crime both straightforward and complex?

The five elements of crime, both straightforward and complex, typically include: 1) Actus Reus (the guilty act), which refers to the physical action or conduct that constitutes a criminal offense; 2) Mens Rea (the guilty mind), indicating the offender's mental state or intent during the crime; 3) Concurrence, which means the act and the intent must occur together; 4) Causation, establishing a direct link between the act and the harm caused; and 5) Harm, which is the resulting damage or injury that the crime inflicts on an individual or society. These elements must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt for a conviction.

Without enzymes are molecules able to bond with each other and why?

What does non conviction mean on a felony charge?

A non-conviction on a felony charge means that the defendant was not found guilty of the crime. This can occur through various outcomes, such as a dismissal of the charges, an acquittal at trial, or a plea deal that results in no conviction. It indicates that there was insufficient evidence for a conviction or that the legal process did not result in a guilty verdict. A non-conviction typically does not carry the same legal penalties as a conviction.
