How can we qualify a crime?
To learn how to differentiate crimes, begin by understanding what the degrees of these are.
The first is consummation: which is when the crime was completely carried out.
The second is the attempt: which involves the perpetrator working and planning to carry out his task but is arrested before it happens.
And the third is frustration: the perpetrator is about to do everything possible to commit the crime, but it does not have the expected result.
