Answer to Question 1

Answer: Inchoate offenses are incomplete crimes. They are also referred to as anticipatory offenses. Included in this category of offenses include attempts, conspiracy, and solicitation. Also, in many jurisdictions, the level of culpability for the inchoate offense will be higher for the more extended degree of involvement toward completion of the criminal offense. For instance, the person who shoots and misses the intended victim will be treated more harshly than the person who sits in a tavern trying to hire the hit man to murder his wife. The greater degree of potential harm often affects the degree of the offense charged.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The following must be in the answer:
a. The offense is a minor offense, and the conduct was performed by an agent acting on the corporation's behalf within the scope of the agent's employment.
b. The offense is defined by another statute and is made applicable to corporations.
c. The offense consists of a failure to perform a specific duty imposed on the corporation by law, such as failing to file a tax return.
d. The criminal acts were approved, authorized, permitted, or recklessly tolerated by the board of directors or a high management official acting on behalf of the corporation and within the scope of his or her employment.
