Answer:

An actus reus

Step-by-step explanation:

Actus reus is a concept that has Latin origin and means "act of guilt" and it represents the anti-juridicality, through external (or objective) elements of an offense. In more defined lines, actus reus consists in the junction of the conduct itself with the result, coming from the criminal conduct. To establish an actus reus, the Model Penal Code (MPC) requires a person to act to promote or facilitate a crime in order to be held liable as an accomplice for an act of omission.
