whether or not it is worth it to commit the crime. The rate of burglaries tends to be higher for houses that have been burglarized before or are close neighbors of those that have been burglarized.

The distinction between general intent crimes and specific intent crimes can sometimes be hard to distinguish between. To help distinguish between the two, one should ask, first, what the intent (or knowledge) if any does the crime require; and then, if the crime requires some intent (knowledge), did the defendant in fact ascertain such an intent (Brody and Acker, 2010).

In this paper, I will reconstruct her argument using the analogy that an unplanned…
