Consensual Crime - Giving Consent

Giving Consent

When discussing consensual crime, one issue is whether all the participants are capable of giving genuine consent. This may not be the case if one or more of the participants are:

  • Animals
  • Children (normally measured as being under the legal age of consent)
  • Severely disabled
  • Severely mentally ill
  • Not fully informed about the issues involved
  • Suffering from mood swings
  • Acting under duress
  • Addicted
  • Intoxicated
  • Unconscious

Famous quotes containing the words giving and/or consent:

    “The best time to start giving your children money is when they will no longer eat it. Basically, when they don’t put it in their mouths, they can start putting it in their bank.”
    —Barbara Coloroso (20th century)

    “To exist is equivalent to an act of faith, a protest against the truth, an interminable prayer.... As soon as they consent to live, the unbeliever and the man of faith are fundamentally the same, since both have made the only decision that defines a being.”
    —E.M. Cioran (b. 1911)
