Direct intention: it means that the actor knows that his behavior will have harmful consequences to society, and hopes that such consequences will occur and actively pursues the occurrence of harmful consequences.
Indirect intention: knowing that one's actions may have harmful consequences to society, letting such consequences happen without actively pursuing harmful consequences.
2. In terms of cognitive factors, they have different degrees of understanding of the occurrence of harmful results.
Direct intention: the actor is aware of the possibility or inevitability of endangering the result.
Indirect intention: the actor is aware of the possibility of endangering the result.
Extended data:
Indirect intent generally occurs in the following two situations:
1, letting a harmful result happen in order to achieve some non-criminal intention.
2, in order to achieve a crime deliberately let another harmful result happen; Among them, it can be divided into two situations: a, in order to pursue a certain harmful result, it takes a laissez-faire attitude towards another harmful result that may be caused by the same object; B, in the implementation of criminal acts against one object, let the harmful results caused to another object.
Direct intention: it can be divided into two situations, that is, knowing that it is possible and knowing that it is inevitable.
The actor knows that his behavior will inevitably lead to the consequences of endangering society, but he still carries out the behavior. Subjective will can't be laissez-faire, it should be equal to hope, and it belongs to a form of direct intention.
In judicial practice, most intentional crimes are direct intentional crimes. Other things being basically the same, the social harmfulness of direct intentional crime is generally greater than that of indirect intentional crime, so the sentencing of direct intentional crime is generally heavier than that of indirect intentional crime.
