THE CONCEPT, CONDITIONS AND FORMS OF GUILT.

In the legal context, intention represents the mental state of the perpetrator at the time of committing an act and can be classified into several forms. Direct intention involves actions with an explicit purpose, while indirect intention involves anticipating consequences and eventual intention involves accepting the risk of an undesirable outcome. A specific form, outdated intent, occurs when the perpetrator sets out for an outcome, but the consequences significantly exceed initial expectations. These concepts are fundamental in assessing legal responsibility and the degree of guilt within the legal system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
