attempt: n.
The act of trying to do something, usually unsuccessfully; in criminal law, an intentional effort to commit a crime that failed but could have succeeded.
v.
attempt

attempt: an attempted crime is one that is not completed. Because the criminal law focuses so much on the mental state of the offender, it has long been established that a mere failure to carry through the act intended by the wrongdoer will not allow him to escape criminal liability. To be criminal, matters must have progressed from preparation to perpetration: thus, the purchase of a mask and a glass-cutting tool may be insufficient whereas wandering the streets at night, mask on face and cutter in hand, might be enough. A hand in a pocket, which never reaches the wallet, is an attempted theft.

In England, the common law has been supplemented by the Criminal Attempts Act 1981, which creates a statutory offence of attempt. This applies to any act that is done with intent to commit an indictable offence and is more than merely preparatory: Anderson v . Ryan [1985] AC 560. See also R v . Pearman (1984) 80 Cr. App. R 259. It is a crime even to attempt the impossible in terms of the Act and as a result of the decision in R v. Shirpuri [1987] AC 1. In Scotland, in terms of the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 1975, all attempts to commit a crime are criminal offences. It is attempted theft even if there is nothing in the pocket to steal: Lamont v . Strathern 1933 JC 33, although it was held not possible to attempt to procure an abortion by supplying the necessary materials where the woman was not in fact pregnant: HMA v. Semple 1937 JC 41.

attempt: Starting but not completing an intended criminal act. Attempts involve more than just thinking about doing a criminal act or planning it without at least some concrete steps. Attempted crimes can include attempted murder, attempted robbery, attempted rape, attempted forgery, attempted arson, and a host of other crimes. Attempts are often punished less severely than completed crimes.

attempt: n. The intentional and overt taking of a substantial step toward the commission of a crime that falls short of completing the crime. The mere planning of a crime, as well as soliciting another to commit the crime, does not constitute an attempt to commit the crime. Attempt is a crime distinct from the offense that the criminal was attempting to commit. Various legal tests are used to determine when, between planning a crime and committing it, a person's actions constitute an attempt.

See also conspiracy, solicitation.

attempt: An undertaking to do an act that entails more than mere preparation but does not result in the successful completion of the act.
