When Is an Attempt to Commit an Impossible Crime a Criminal Act?

Abstract

Professor Spjut examines criminal liability for attempts of criminal acts, the successful completion of which are impossible. He discusses the debate over the No Act Thesis and argues that the debate confuses the danger and liability issues found therein. Finally, Professor Spjut argues that separating the issues will allow for better understanding of the arguments for and against liability for impossible attempts.
