Quizplus · Accepted Answer

General intent crimes do not require the perpetrator to intend the precise harm or the exact result that occurred. Instead, they require that the perpetrator had an intention to act in a way that the law deems criminal, and that they knew or should have known that their actions would likely lead to a harmful result. This contrasts with specific intent crimes, which require a more precise intention to bring about a specific outcome.
