There are sometimes when the individual incites another to commit a crime for him, thus absolving him of any actus Reus and thereby any responsibility for the crime. Through the offence of incitement and abetment, the legal system takes a strong stand against any wrongful act of an individual that leads to the commission of a crime. Such inchoate crimes therefore help reduce the number of crimes that are committed in the society. Thus, the main rationale behind inchoate crimes is to discourage individuals from the commission of a crime not only themselves, but also through the incitement inchoate offences are not the normal kinds of offences that one sees in everyday life. They are those crimes which are crimes with a small anomaly in them. In essence, inchoate offences are not the major offences themselves. They are the steps taken or the actions committed in pursuance of action. These steps are punishable themselves and are known broadly as inchoate offences. In such offences, it is not the main aim that is being punished, but is the act or thought in pursuance of the main aim that is punished. It is of the belief that the offences that the individual wishes to commit is of such grievous nature that in case of failure to commit the said crime, it is in the public interest to prosecute the acts done in pursuance of the crime. People prosecuted for the commission of inchoate crimes do not commit direct harm through the actions undertaken, but for the harm that they could have caused if the act had been committed. Inchoate crimes are basically incomplete crimes are acts involving the tendency to commit, or to indirectly participate in a criminal offence. There is no offence of simply “attempt.” Likewise there is no offence of simply “incitement” or “conspiracy.” Rather, attempt, conspiracy and incitement are concepts providing for the construction of offences such as attempted murder, conspiracy to commit theft, incitement to assault, and so on. In light of this it can be suggested that either “inchoate liability” or “inchoate offences” are apt headings under which to group the rules and instructions for the operation of attempt, conspiracy and incitement. Inchoate offences therefore, from the definition can be seen to be not the same as the actual offence. They are of a lesser magnitude than if the intended offence had actually been committed.
