Explain causation and concurrence.
What will be an ideal response?
Concurrence: Concurrence is the union of the criminal act and criminal intent. Both must exist. The criminal intent must set the criminal act in motion. Acts not generated by criminal intent do not constitute criminal conduct, and the intent to commit a crime, without action, does not constitute a crime. Causation:There are two types of causation: factual and legal. Factual cause refers to the idea that "but for" the actor's conduct, the harm would not have occurred. It is an initial act that sets a series of other acts in motion that leads to some harm. Factual causation is a necessary but not sufficient element for the imposition of criminal liability. A legal cause also must exist.
