What is the difference between purposely and knowingly?

What will be an ideal response?


Purposely is more morally blameworthy and is considered the most serious because the perpetrator intentionally and deliberately committed the act. Knowingly, on the other hand, does not necessarily amount to committing a deliberate act. Rather, when committing an act, the perpetrator is aware that circumstances exist, or as a result is practically certain to follow from his or her conduct.
