    Question

    Which one of the following is an inchoate crime?

    A.

    Riot

    B.

    Criminal attempt

    C.

    Unlawful assembly

    D.

    Public nuisance

    Correct option is B


    The correct answer is (b) Criminal attempt. An inchoate crime is an incomplete or preliminary crime that involves actions or conduct directed toward the commission of a crime but not resulting in the completed crime. Criminal attempt, conspiracy, and solicitation are classic examples of inchoate crimes. A criminal attempt occurs when someone intends to commit a crime and takes substantial steps toward its commission, even if the crime is not ultimately completed.
    Information Booster:
    Inchoate Crimes: Inchoate offenses are crimes that involve actions taken toward the commission of another crime. These offenses recognize the danger of the intent and actions taken toward a crime, even if the final criminal act does not occur. The law punishes these preparatory acts to prevent the intended crime from being carried out.
    Additional Knowledge:
    · (a) Riot: A riot is a completed crime involving the use of force or violence by an unlawful assembly.
    · (c) Unlawful assembly: An unlawful assembly is a group of people gathered with the intent to commit a crime or cause a disturbance. It is a completed offense, not inchoate.
    · (d) Public nuisance: Public nuisance is a completed crime that involves an act affecting the public at large, not an incomplete or inchoate offense.
