All crimes except for strict liability crimes require a mens rea. Mens rea is what the accused must have been thinking when he committed the criminal act. The necessary intent is not the same for all crimes. There are several types of intent. Criminal intent is the same as mens rea. With constructive intent it is first asserted that intent is required for all crimes, then it is added that such intent may be inferred from recklessness or negligence. General intent falls under acts forbidden by statute. This falls along the same lines as mens rea and may be used to encompass all forms of mental state. Specific intent designates a special mental element. Occasionally, a person may act with multiple intents. If so, as long as he had the intention required by the definition of the crime, it is of no consequence that he also had some other intention as well.
