Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Substantive criminal law addresses the nature and elements of various criminal offences, including what actions or omissions constitute a crime, what mental state or intention is required for a crime to be committed, and what defences can be raised to justify or excuse criminal conduct. It does not address the classification of offences or guidelines for police. General principles of criminal responsibility would fall under both substantive and procedural criminal law.
