CRIMINAL DEFENSE

In the field of criminal law, there are a variety of conditions that will tend to negate elements of a crime, known as defenses. The label may be apt in jurisdictions where the accused may be assigned some burden before a tribunal. However, in many jurisdictions, the entire burden to prove a crime is on the prosecution, which also must prove the absence of these defenses, where implicated. In other words, in many jurisdictions, the absence of these so-called defenses is treated as an element of the crime. So-called defenses may provide partial or total refuge from punishment.
