However, if Anna alleges that she did not intend to take the book, this is an argument stating that there was no intention to permanently deprive the mens rea remains unproved and theft cannot be proved. These issues can be more easily seen in Figure 7.11. Figure: 7.11: the actus reus (act) and mens rea (mental intent) of theft 7.9 MAKING IT ‘REAL’—R v ANNA This chapter has given a brief explanation and has demonstrated the forms of, and the relationship between deductive and inductive reasoning. At the same time it has also introduced the two-part nature of most legal rules relating to criminal offences, the physical act (actus reus) and the mental act (mens rea). To make these distinctions come to life the rest of this section will deal with a fictitious criminal case of R v Anna. Anna has been accused of stealing a book from a shop. The first relationship that R v Anna will be used to show is that between deductive and inductive reasoning. The two approaches to reasoning are set out in Figure 7.12. Both the inductive and the deductive forms are for the prosecution. Can you rephrase them to provide inductive and deductive forms in favour of the defence?

ABSTRACT
This chapter has given a brief explanation and has demonstrated the forms of, and the relationship between deductive and inductive reasoning. At the same time it has also introduced the two-part nature of most legal rules relating to criminal offences, the physical act (actus reus) and the mental act (mens rea). To make these distinctions come to life the rest of this section will deal with a fictitious criminal case of R v Anna. Anna has been accused of stealing a book from a shop.
