Mens rea: Latin for guilty mind; guilty knowledge or intention to commit a prohibited act. Also: a particular state of mind such as the intent to cause, or some foresight of, the results of the act or the state of affairs. (R v Daviault [1994] 3 SCR 63 at para. 74). Many serious crimes require the proof of mens rea before a person can be convicted. In other words, the prosecution must prove not only that the accused committed the offence (actus reus) but that he (or she) did it knowing that it was prohibited; that their act (or omission) was done with an intent to commit the crime.
In some jurisdictions, the terms mens rea and actus reus have been replaced by alternative terminology. In Australia, for example, the elements of the federal offenses are now designated as fault elements or mental elements (mens rea) and physical elements or external elements (actus reus).This terminology was adopted to replace the obscurity of the Latin terms with simple and accurate phrasing.b) objective, where the requisite mens rea element is imputed to the accused, on the basis that a reasonable person would have had the mental element in the same circumstances (for negligence); or. (c) hybrid, where the test is both subjective and objective.
