Strict Liability Offenses

Strict liability offenses:

A) dispense with the requirement of proof of any criminal intent on the part of the defendant.
B) are so classified because the punishments imposed on violators are especially harsh in comparison to the punishments for other criminal offenses.
C) impose liability on a defendant for the act of another party.
D) are commonly criticized on the ground that a person may not be convicted of such an offense without being shown to have committed a wrongful act.
