Italian term

indifferenza tra dolo e colpa

Italian to English Law/Patents Law: Contract(s) Modello 231
"(...) la maggior parte dei reati richiamati siano sanzionabili anche a titolo di colpa. Inoltre quasi sempre si tratta di contravvenzioni e da tale qualificazione discende ***l’indifferenza, sul piano soggettivo del reato, tra dolo e colpa***."

"(...) most of the crimes mentioned can be punished even if only for negligence. Moreover, as said offences almost always constitute petty offences, ***there is no difference, for the crime considered, between wilful misconduct and negligence***.

Sono in dubbio su come rendere efficacemente "dolo" e "colpa", soprattutto perché poco dopo si afferma che sono state adottate misure per evitare la commissione di "illeciti anche solo per negligenza e imprudenza" e in traduzione avrei di nuovo "negligence".

no difference between mens rea intent and blameworthiness

sul piano soggettivo del reato... on the subjective level of the offenc/se.

Watch the difference between subjective - to the offender - and objective: 'to a bystander' in EN criminal law e.g the cases of R v. Cunningham and R vs. Caldwell.

Otherwise, negligenza e imprudenza could be translated as negligence and carelessness.

Colpa: fault amounting to blameworthiness.

Mens rea: paradoxically Latin can be used in this Italian context.
Example sentence:

IATE: criminal law CJEU [LAW] CJUE it dolo CJUE en criminal intent CJUE criminal intention CJUE

In R v Cunningham, the House of Lords confirmed that the required mens rea for murder is an intention to kill or an intention to cause grievous bodily harm.
