ciroccojSo I'm looking up crimes of 'general' v 'specific' intent and the defence of drunkenness for Chris, whose colleagues have some questions about whaddup with all that. And vandalism comes up - is it a crime of general or specific intent? Can drunkenness be a defence for it?
Well, I don't know. But hey! I have my trusty little Martin's Annual Criminal Code 2003 (Student Edition), weighing in at about 800 pounds, so I go look.
And it's not in the index.
Huh.
Wait. How can 'Vandalism' not be in the index? 'Voidable transfers' is in there. Why not Vandalism?
'Vault breaking' is in there. So is 'Transporting person to bawdy house'. And 'Time clock'. And 'Three card monte'.
Yes, Three Card Monte has an entry in the index of the Criminal Code of Canada. But Vandalism does not.
