message: In many places the phrase 'negative the mens rea' is used. Surely it should be negate? Cosnahang 12:20, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  negative vs negate 

message: I have removed the following passages because I find them innaccurate. The mens rea for robbery does not consist merely of the specific intent to use force etc. Robbery is a form of aggravated theft. That means that the mens rea includes dishonesty. My understanding of the decisions in R v Feely and R v Ghosh is that it would be open to a jury to acquit Robin Hood if they were of the opinion that his actions were not "dishonest according to the standards of ordinary decent people" or, if they did not accept that, they were of the opinion that he did not realise that they were. See for example Professor Griews book. In any event these passages do not explain the real issue. James500 (talk) 17:42, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

message: This page directs people elsewhere for public order offences, but that page goes to a general international Public Order Crime page, that directs people back here for Public Order Offences in England and Wales. Just thought I'd point it out, as I noticed it. SamBC(talk) 19:23, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Also the "public order crime" page is about a totally different category of offence - one that relates to transgressions of social norms rather than public violence or disorder.  This appears to be a deeply unhelpful and misleading link.  62.196.17.197 (talk) 15:47, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  Link deleted.  If anyone feels like putting it back, it would probably be happier in the section below entitled "Offences against public morals and public policy" which is what "Public Order Crimes" seems to be about. 62.196.17.197 (talk) 15:50, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: Why not???  It is of interest as I would like to know what specific crimes the late Savile is accused of committing and can he be tried posthumously under UK law???  No one in any of the Jimmy Savile Articles talk pages can answer it.johncheverly 00:56, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
