Crimes não intencionais ocorrem quando a conduta inicial é intencional, mas o damage[1] resultante é não intencional, envolvendo uma intenção mista onde o ato antecedente é proposital e o resultado consequente é negligente. Estudiosos jurídicos definem estes como crimes com um facto base, ação sancionada e um evento agravante. Tipicamente, tais crimes envolvem um dano menor intencional que escala para um resultado mais severo, como causar death[2] ao tentar infligir lesão menor. Geralmente, tentativas não são reconhecidas em crimes não intencionais devido à falta de livre arbítrio e consciência. A sentença considera a conduta intencional com o resultado não intencional como um fator agravante. A qualificação do crime depende da interação entre elementos intencionais e negligentes, com o Código Penal Brasileiro fornecendo diretrizes específicas para categorizar estes cenários jurídicos complexos.

Terms definitions
1. damage. Damage is a legal concept originating from the Latin word "damnum", referring to the harm caused to legally protected goods or interests. It covers material, moral, economic, psychological and reputational impacts resulting from civil or criminal acts. Modern legal interpretation has expanded beyond traditional naturalistic perspectives, seeking more comprehensive compensation for various forms of damage. Valuation involves quantifying losses through repair costs, market value, expert testimony and financial projections. Legal measures include monetary compensation, restitution, injunctions, punitive damages and rehabilitation measures. The evolving framework aims to address complex damage scenarios, recognising tangible and intangible consequences, balancing the need for fair and comprehensive resolution of damages.
2. death. Death is a complex biological and philosophical phenomenon characterised by the cessation of physiological functions and consciousness. Defined differently across cultures and disciplines, it involves intricate medical, legal and ethical considerations. Traditionally identified by cardiac and respiratory failure, modern definitions increasingly emphasise brain death and neurological criteria. Biological processes after death include cellular decomposition, influenced by environmental factors. Globally, ageing remains the leading cause of death, with infectious diseases predominant in developing countries and chronic conditions prevalent in industrialised nations. Cultural interpretations vary widely, with different societies developing unique rituals and perspectives on mortality. Medical advances have transformed the understanding of death, making it a more controlled and medically managed event, raising ongoing debates about precise definition, determination and implications for organ donation and end-of-life decisions.
