§ 15.10 Requirements for criminal liability in general and for offenses\n of strict liability and mental culpability.\n The minimal requirement for criminal liability is the performance by a\nperson of conduct which includes a voluntary act or the omission to\nperform an act which he is physically capable of performing. If such\nconduct is all that is required for commission of a particular offense,\nor if an offense or some material element thereof does not require a\nculpable mental state on the part of the actor, such offense is one of\n"strict liability." If a culpable mental state on the part of the actor\nis required with respect to every material element of an offense, such\noffense is one of "mental culpability."\n
