TL;DRAbstract

This is the last of three chapters analysing sets of exceptions to the determinative role of elements in criminal law. While Chapter 8 (Groups) and Chapter 9 (Failures) examined doctrines allowing a person to be found guilty of a crime without proof of all the elements, this chapter considers rules that permit a person to be acquitted of a crime despite proof of all the elements.
