Abstract

According to common law-the legal dispensation system used in most countries across the world, including Pakistan-two fundamental components are required to prove the commission of a crime: firstly, actus reus and secondly mens rea. In general, the first of these two-the actus reus-is the physical act (or omission) of committing the crime. The second-mens rea-is the necessary intent to prove that the alleged perpetrator wanted to commit the crime. Besides, these demonstrate potential psychological impacts over the societies across the world, which is focused on this study. The study adopts qualitative means to examine the psychological implications of Juvenile delinquency in Pakistan and provide insightful understanding for the readers.
