Attempt: The Conduct Requirement

Christopher M.V. Clarkson*

* Professor of Law, University of Leicester. Email: cmvc1{at}leicester.ac.uk


  Abstract

The law relating to the conduct requirement for criminal attempts is confused and incoherent. This article examines this incoherence, rejects the Law Commission's provisional proposals to split the crime of attempt into two separate inchoate offences and suggests a reformulation of the conduct requirement in attempts.
