Are You Guilty of Consensual Crime?
What is consensual crime? Can anything be a
crime if you agree? How
should we define crimes that someone, at the time, might actually agree
to? Are we always aware? Some examples of real situations.
A
consensual crime is a general
term, which encompasses those crimes wherein more than one person is
involved
and everyone gives their tacit or spoken agreement to be part of it.
The
exceptions to consensual crimes are those wherein one or more of the
parties
are children, animals, those who are mentally or physically disabled,
under the
influence of drugs or alcohol or unconscious. If there has been a lack
or
omission of information or one of the individuals is acting under
duress, these
cannot be considered as consensual crimes as well.
Types
of Consensual Crimes
A
common consensual crime would
be statutory rape,
wherein the underaged individual may have agreed to
sexual
intercourse but the law has determined that they cannot be regarded as
capable
of giving informed consent. Oftentimes, the punishment for statutory
rape is
several years of imprisonment.
The
morality governing
euthanasia
on the other hand, is not as clearly defined. One point of
view
holds that the individual who is solely dependent on a life support
system and
may be experiencing chronic pain and suffering should be allowed to
die. On the
other hand, the opposing point of view states that individuals should
follow
the natural course of life and death and no other individual should
play a part
in determining whether one should live or die. Physicians who are found
guilty
of assisting patients in suicide could be charged for homicide or
murder,
depending on the circumstances and could receive punishment in the form
of the
death penalty or life imprisonment.
Polygamy
is another consensual
crime wherein an individual has more than one spouse at the same time.
While
polygamy is accepted in some cultures, it is considered illegal in most
Western
countries. Multiple marriages and divorces can actually be done to
prevent
being accused of polygamy. If you intend to immigrate to another
country,
polygamists generally have a difficult time at being given approval of
a new citizenship.
The transmission of a sexual disease can also be considered as a
consensual
crime, since this could result in serious injury or hazards to
one’s health.
Another
consensual crime that
has risen in numbers as of late is suicide
terrorism. Often affiliated
with
fundamentalist religious groups, one or more individuals will commit
suicide in
the name of a cause or belief. The suicide often involves the death of
more
individuals within a specific area or context such as the recent
bombings of
government landmarks and more infamously, the 9/11 incident, which
changed the
landscape of world history forever. While harsh and exacting punishment
is
doled out to suicide terrorists, they are often difficult to catch if
the crime
is unsuccessful or cannot be persecuted if they have managed to kill
themselves
in the process of committing suicide
