Attempt (England and Wales)
As attempt (Engl., Trial ') is referred to in Criminal Law of England and Wales a manifestation of the inchoate offenses (~ unfinished offense'). The criminality of the attempt is regulated in the Criminal Attempts Act 1981 by statute law . After s. 1 (1) CAA, the perpetrator must have undertaken actions that are “more than merely preparatory” (“more than just preparatory”). The attempt is after s. 1 (4) CAA only possible in the case of indictable offenses (~ criminal offenses that are at least more serious offenses). Constructively, the attempt is also structured as actus reus and mens rea . The former consists in more than just preparatory actions, the latter in the intention to complete the act.
