 Criminal Resource Manual 145 Criminal acts occurring before and after defendant's eighteenth birthday
The Act does not prevent a criminal defendant from being prosecuted as an adult simply because he first became embroiled in a conspiracy or a substantive RICO crime which spans a period of time with which he was charged while still a minor.
Once it is established that certain acts of the charged offense occurred after the defendant's eighteenth birthday, some courts believe it is appropriate for the entire case to be tried in adult court, and the government's introduction of evidence is limited only by the Federal Rules of Evidence.
In a case where the jury was not instructed to disregard evidence of pre-eighteen conduct because the appellate court found that post-eighteen evidence sufficiently supported the jury's verdict, the defendant could not show that the omission of the jury instruction affected his substantial rights, and therefore, plain error was not established.

A criminal act is committed because of negligence when the person, although he does not want its consequences, foresees the possibility of their occurrence and with light mindedness attempts to avoid them, or when he does not foresee the consequences, but according to the circumstances, he should and could have foreseen them.

 80 Wn. App. 565, ALLSTATE v. PEASLEY
An insurance contract provision that excludes coverage for injuries that "may reasonably be expected to result from the intentional or criminal acts" of the insured applies to any act from which a criminal conviction results, regardless of whether the criminal act is intentional or unintentional.
For purposes of an insurance contract provision that excludes coverage for injuries that "may reasonably be expected to result" from the intentional or criminal acts" of the insured, whether an injury "may reasonably be expected to result" from an act of the insured is determined objectively.
if the criminal or intentional acts referred to in the first part of the exclusion required a subjective awareness on the part of the insured that they were likely to cause harm, the latter part of the exclusion would be superfluous.

 U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works
The distinctions between constitutionally protected advocacy and violent, criminal activity are extremely important to recognize, and law enforcement officials should be solely concerned with those individuals who pursue animal rights or environmental protection through force, violence, or criminal activity.
Preventing such criminal activity has become increasingly difficult, in large part because extremists in these movements are very knowledgeable about the letter of the law and the limits of law enforcement.
On the legislative front, we are interested in working with you to examine federal criminal statutes, specifically 18 USC 43, “Animal Enterprise Terrorism.” The statute provides a framework for the prosecution of animal rights extremists, but in practice, it does not cover many of the criminal acts that extremists have committed.

In furtherance of this scheme of extortion, the victims are subjected to criminal acts such as vandalism, arson, property damage, harassment and physical attacks, or the fear of such attacks, until they discontinue their animal-based research or their association with or investment in companies such as HLS, engaged in animal-based research.

 FrontPage magazine.com :: John Kerry, Criminal by Henry Mark Holzer and Erika Holzer
Given Title 10, Section 904 and Title 18, Section 953, there is no doubt whatsoever that intercourse with the enemy and intercourse with a foreign government with intent to “defeat the measures of” the United States constitute federal crimes.
Dickenson, Batchelor, Olson and Johnson, respectively, reservists are subject to Section 904, criminal intent is not necessary for conviction, providing propaganda to the enemy can constitute commission of the crime, and even an unsuccessful attempt is punishable.
By logical extension, the same is true under Section 953 of the Logan Act, as the draft indictment of Philip Agee makes eminently clear.

 Las Vegas SUN: Schools working to distinguish misbehaving from criminal acts
The criminalization of school behavior is a national trend with roots in the increased presence of police on school campuses and in parents' threats to sue, officials in the justice and school systems say.
Because of the fear of being sued, schools are anxious to pass infractions on to the police so the school can't be accused of failing to act, Voy said.
In fact, despite the school district's skyrocketing enrollment thanks to the region's growth, arrests have been decreasing since 2000, while criminal citations have both increased and decreased from year to year, according to school police statistics.

Such behaviour, when at its most extreme for the individual, should amount to major violations of age-appropriate social expectations, and is therefore more severe than ordinary childish mischief or adolescent rebelliousness.
Isolated dissocial or criminal acts are not in themselves grounds for the diagnosis, which implies an enduring pattern of behaviour.
Examples of the behaviours on which the diagnosis is based include the following: excessive levels of fighting or bullying; cruelty to animals or other people; severe destructiveness to property; firesetting; stealing; repeated lying; truancy from school and running away from home; unusually frequent and severe temper tantrums; defiant provocative behaviour; and persistent severe disobedience.

 Negligent Criminal Acts Excluded from Yacht Policy, Court Rules in Case of N.H. Boating Death
The insured, Daniel Littlefield, was convicted of criminally negligent homicide for the boating death.
Littlefield brought a cross-motion for summary judgment, arguing that the language of the policy exclusion in Section B of the policy is ambiguous and should be construed to provide coverage despite his criminal conviction.
Hence, criminal negligence differs from civil negligence under New Hampshire law in important ways, and the yacht policy provides meaningful coverage for loss or liability incurred through the latter (as well as, Acadia notes, through 'non-operational' negligence such as negligent maintenance)," the decision stated.
