Criminal responsibility in the foreground of the act – semantic aspects of the concept
https://doi.org/10.48269/2451-0807-sp-2024-2-07
Abstract
This article is a semantic analysis of a concept relatively often used by criminal law scholars – responsibility in the pre-front of the act. It is not a statutory concept, but it is overly often expressed in legal literature and – in practice – in various types of pleadings. The author notes that the term is used in two senses. This is because it is associated both with the stage forms of the offence and with the issue of the exclusion of criminal responsibility due to the lack of sanity of the perpetrator. He analyses the reasons for this distinction and the appropriateness of assigning the title term to each of them.
