Intent and culpa are key concepts in criminal law. Intent refers to the mental state of a person when committing an act, indicating that they had the purpose or knowledge of the consequences of their actions. Culpa, often translated as negligence or fault, encompasses situations where a person fails to meet a standard of care, leading to unintended harm. While intent requires a conscious decision to engage in the act, culpa focuses on the lack of reasonable care or foresight in one's actions.
