parties to crime

Last modified: Thu Feb 23 16:37:37 2006

There are various ways in which persons can be jointly liable for, or in respect of, committing a criminal offense. More than one method of collaboration can apply in the same offence.

• A person may be an Accomplice to a principal offender; that is, he may `aid, abet, counsel, or procure' the offence, while not being the direct cause of the ActusReus.
• Parties can enter into Conspiracy to commit an offence.
• Parties can enter into a JointEnterprise to commit an offence, although it is not clear whether this is distinct from the parties' being accomplices to each other.

• A person may give AssistanceAfterTheOffence.
• A person may provide Incitement to another to commit a crime (this is different from the `counselling' required of an accomplice).
• A person may be dissuaded from prosecution by an offer of reward (see: CompoundingAndMisprision).
