Logical Model of Guilt as a Part of a Structure of Crime

We model guilt as a part of crime using an ontology which is an extension of the LKIF ontology, and to put its elements into context of particular criminal jurisdictions common law and the laws of EU countries codes. Differences between existing multipartite guilt frameworks are analysed. We list entities defining these models. An ontological comparative analysis of guilt frameworks in various jurisdictions reveals 7 types of frameworks. Rules of defeasible reasoning are necessary to decide blameworthiness using justification or excuse arguments as we show on an example.
