Answer:

Contributory negligence.

Explanation:

Under the theory of contributory negligence, a person is prohibited from recovering damages for an injury if his own negligence contributed to the injury. Recovery is blocked even if a person was solely responsible for the injury. That is, if it is proven that because of the music and singing, Carissa, was responsible for at least 1% of her accident, she will have the recovery prevented from being released, because even though he was hit by a criminal, she contributed with the accident.

What type of mens rea might apply in each situation?
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

- The mugging of the police officer: purposeful

- The theft/disappearance of the fingerprints: knowing or negligent

- The arson: purposeful or reckless

Explanation:

Mens rea means "a guilty mind" as is required to prove a crime, along with actus reus (the criminal act). A purposeful mens rea means a crime was intentionally commited. A negligent mens rea is the failure to do what a reasonable person would do. A knowing mens rea means the potential result of a criminal act (such as lending a gun to someone who intends to shoot another person). A reckless mens rea increases risk to others, like driving under the influence.

Together, actus reus and mens rea form the corpus delicti or, both the criminal act and guilty mind.
