In jurisprudence, animus nocendi (from Latin animus 'mind' and noceo 'to harm') is the subjective state of mind of the perpetrator of a crime, with reference to the exact knowledge of illegal content of their behaviour, and of its possible consequences. In most modern legal systems, the animus nocendi is required as an essential condition to give a penal condemnation.
