Crime Of Passion
A crime of passion (), in popular usage, refers to a violent crime, especially homicide, in which the perpetrator commits the act against someone because of sudden strong impulse such as anger or jealousy rather than as a premeditated crime. A high level of social and legal acceptance of crimes of passion has been historically associated with France from the 19th century to the 1970s, and until recently with Latin America. Description The "crime of passion" defense challenges the ''mens rea'' element by suggesting that there was no malice aforethought, and instead the crime was committed in the "heat of passion". In some jurisdictions, a successful "crime of passion" defense may result in a conviction for manslaughter or second degree murder instead of first degree murder, because a defendant cannot ordinarily be convicted of first degree murder unless the crime was premeditated. A classic example of a crime of passion involves a spouse who, upon finding their partner in bed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dirty Hands
The problem of dirty hands concerns whether political leaders are justified in committing immoral actions when "dirtying their hands", in realizing an important moral end, such as the preservation of a community's continued existence or the prevention of imminent societal catastrophe. Walzer and Williams on dirty hands Contemporary philosophical interest in the problem of dirty hands had been popularized by the works of American political theorist Michael Walzer and other thinkers.Walzer, M. (1973). "Political action: The problem of dirty hands". ''Philosophy & Public Affairs'', 160–180. The term itself comes from Jean-Paul Sartre's 1948 play '' Dirty Hands'', in which Hoederer speaks of having dirty hands up to his elbows, then asks, "But what do you hope? Do you think you can govern innocently?" Walzer argued that, in cases of " supreme emergency" in which a political community's continued existence is in imminent danger, its leaders might be obligated to dirty their hands and ...
