		Inchoate offenses include attempt to commit, conspiracy to commit, and solicitation to commit criminal acts.
		An inchoate offense is a completed crime in itself, even though a further contemplated criminal act has not been completed.
		The offense is completed at the time the solicitation is made, and it does not require that the person solicited actually commits the crime, agrees to commit the crime, receives the communication soliciting the crime, or even understands that the action solicited is criminal.

		Traditionally, inchoate crimes have always been considered misdemeanors, but over the years they have been merged into felonies as society has put more power in the hands of law enforcement and prosecutors to deal with recalcitrant problems such as organized crime, white collar crime, and drug crime.
		All inchoate crimes are specific intent crimes, and all specific intent crimes do not allow such states of mind as reckless, negligent, or strict liability.
		Because a conspiracy by itself is almost treated as a substantive crime in itself, this is the only inchoate offense that the law permits a person to be charged with in addition to the target crime (that is, a person can be charged with both murder and conspiracy to commit murder, e.g.).
