A basic fault element for all offenses octordle was proposed in the 1989 Criminal Code Draft. A key distinction between negligent and reckless is that negligent people are often protected from criminal culpability ; reckless people, on the other hand, are held accountable for their actions.

In the proposed Criminal Code of 1989, a general element of fault for all crimes was envisaged. People are often exempt from criminal liability when they are negligent, but those who act recklessly are usually called to account for their behavior.
