ACT IN CRIMINAL LAW - NOTION AND FUNCTIONS

Summary/Abstract: The system of criminal offence is based on tripartite structure, consisting of statutory elements of an offence, unlawfulness (absence of justificatory defences) and blameworthiness (absence of excusatory defences). However, many authors also give consideration to socalled criminal act, which should exercise essential, linking and separating function in the system of criminal offence. For a long time, causal theory, which defined criminal act as a voluntary bodily movement or a willing omission of such movement, was dominant. In the 1930s, this concept replaces the theory of finality, which believes that every human action is purposeful.
