The End of the Theory of Expectation Possibility in Criminal Law

Abstract

The expectation possibility theory of criminal law is one of the important theories in the field of criminal responsibility, which focuses on whether the perpetrator has the possibility of avoiding the illegal act when committing the crime. This paper attempts to find the fate of the theory in China's criminal law through the discussion of the historical development of the theory of expected possibility, its relationship with China's criminal liability, its introduction analysis, and the analysis of the reasons for exemption from liability beyond the law.
