OR

That would be grammatically correct in the plural form.

agree  Katarina Peters

  -> Thank you, Katarina!

disagree  Donna Sandin: Tipo penal is an offense which is defined as a crime in Penal Code - in your case "similar offenses defined as crimes in the European legal system and in Latin America"
11 hrs
  -> This was exactly what I said in the first line of my explanation. Where does the quoted sentence come from?

disagree  Wm Steinmetz (X): That first line is somewhat closer to the true meaning (Donna's accurate translation is set off in quotation marks), than this answer, which is gibberish in English and is supported by faulty, foreign sources ("fitted in the penal type"?!)
22 hrs
  -> This is the first line: "Tipo penal is the description of the acts that make them a crime." What is "penal type" in your opinion?

agree  Denise Miranda: É por comentários assim que fiquei tanto tempo fora! De qualquer forma, o que você acha de actus reus? Dê uma olhadinha na wikipedia e veja o que vc acha, se corresponde ao nosso tipo penal!
2 days 31 mins
  -> "ACTUS REUS" relates to "common law", whereas "tipo penal" is typical of Roman law. Obrigado, Denise!
