In this audio presentation liability for attempt contrary to s1(1) of the Criminal Attempts Act 1981 is examined.
The following issues are considered: definition of attempt; the actus reus – acts ‘more than merely preparatory’ – the role of judge and jury – differing approaches – complete and incomplete attempts – principles and policies – omissions; the mens rea – ‘with intent to commit an offence’ – act, circumstances and consequences – conditional intent; attempting the impossible; offences which cannot be attempted.
