Actus Reus Law and Legal Definition
Actus reus is a Latin term that refers to a guilty act. When the actus reus is proved beyond a reasonable doubt, as well as the existence of criminal intent, a person may be convicted of a crime. An actus reus may be an action taken or the failure to take a required action. The purposeful, reckless, or negligent absence of an action is considered a voluntary action that is an actus reus.
