Regulatory Offenses

Regulatory offences or quasi-criminal offences are a class of crime in which the standard for proving culpability has been lowered so a mens rea(Latin for "guilty mind") element is not required.  Such offences are used to deter potential offenders from dangerous behaviour rather than to impose punishment for moral wrong-doing.

Some examples are:

  • Occupational Health and Safety
  • Environmental Offenses
  • Part III  Provincial Offenses matters
  • AMPs (Administrative Monetary Penalties)
