Absolute liability is a standard of legal liability found in tort and criminal law of various legal jurisdictions. To be convicted of an ordinary crime, in certain jurisdictions, a person must not only have committed a criminal action, but also have had a deliberate intention or guilty mind (''mens rea''). In a crime of ''strict liability (criminal)'' or ''absolute liability'', a person could be guilty even if there was no intention to commit a crime. The difference between ''strict'' and ''absolute'' liability is whether the defence of a ''mistake of fact'' is available: in a crime of ''absolute liability'', a mistake of fact is not a defence. Strict or Absolute Liability- also can arise from inherently dangerous activities or defective products that are likely to result in a harm to another, regardless of protection taken. Negligence is not required to be proven. Example: Owning a pet rattle snake. ==Australia== The Australian Criminal Code Act 1995〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Criminal Code Act 1995 )〕 defines absolute liability in Division 6, subsection 2: Regulatory bodies tend to favour the approach of declaring offences to be strict or absolute liability, because it makes it easier to prosecute people: there is no longer a requirement to demonstrate that the defendant was deliberately intending to commit an offence. Jurists consider such a mechanism to be a blunt instrument, and recommend its use only in limited circumstances: 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Absolute liability」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
