[edit] Malum prohibitum?

   * breaking and entering
   * indecent exposure
   * littering
   * trespass
   * usury
   * voyeurism

Not so sure about these -- they seem a bit murkier in that there is someone else "injured" by them. —Casey J. Morris 20:36, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge?

When Malum in se and Malum prohibitum both spend a lot of space talking about the other, perhaps it is time to merge them.


[edit] removed sentence

"As malum in se is related closely to the defense of natural rights (underlying rights discovered by the evolution of non-statutory law), malum prohibitum restrictions, as, for example, the American Fugitive Slave Law of 1850, are sometimes seen as imperiling rights."

After a brief period of editing what I thought was the problem with this sentence, I decided to just remove it because I don't understand it. Perhaps it could be better sourced or verified, though it seems a little too evengelical for an encyclopedia.Mneumisi 17:49, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
