Which term best describes a non-intent crime?

• A. Involuntary Manslaughter
• B. First-Degree Murder
• C. Robbery
• D. Assault

Answer: (A)

Non-intent crimes involve outcomes that occur without a purposeful desire to cause harm; the mental state is reckless or negligent rather than intentional. Involuntary manslaughter fits this because it describes a death caused without an intent to kill, stemming from recklessness or criminal negligence. The other options require a deliberate plan or purpose: first-degree murder centers on premeditation and intent to kill, robbery focuses on taking property through force or intimidation for theft, and assault involves the intentional causing or threat of bodily harm. So, involuntary manslaughter is the best fit for a non-intent crime.
