Criminal Offences and Punishments


Strict Liability Offences:

Strict Liability is liability for MENS REA which is Latin for ‘guilty mind’. This means that there does not need to be intention behind this offence. No matter what the circumstances are that surround the offence, the Defendant MUST receive a punishment, REGARDLESS of where he/she INTENDED to break this offence or not.

Military Police Investigations:

Investigations for crimes committed will conducted by MP and any appeals will be directed to the MP department where it will be held and analyzed, to determine whether the:

I. The offender knew the offence was a crime;

II. Had the intention to commit a crime;

III. Intended mischief (i.e intended to cause problems for any personnel for any reason)


If the Offender meets ANY of these 3 criteria then the offence will be treated just as a Strict Liability Offence and punishment is unavoidable.
However, if the offender does NOT meet any of these criteria, the offender will be given a warning or depending on the nature a lesser charge.

No personnel can claim against a sanction for the same offence twice, as obviously the second time round they will know it is a crime.
Sanctions will be logged by the Military Police and kept on record by MP.

Punishment for these contraventions of the (AFA) is dependent on the situation and the person. Yet this does not mean that someone with a history of sanctions will receive a harsher punishment.
