Abstract
WHAT MAKES SOME crimes worse than others? As crimes require both a mens rea and an actus reus, some commentators have deemed the corresponding concepts of culpability and harm the elements that determine the severity of a crime. The factors operate on a sliding scale whereby more of one compensates for less of the other. There is a third element, however, that is often overlooked: the danger posed by the offender's conduct.
