People control their actions or omissions {responsibility, law}.
crime
Crimes can have premeditation. Crimes can be reckless, negligent, accidental, unwilled, or automatic.
excused
Actions taken under necessity, duress, or superior orders are actions for which one is responsible but are excused actions, if no alternative action is possible, such as escape. Sufficient provocation lessens responsibility but does not excuse the action. People can use moral or political convictions to excuse assassinations, violent demonstrations, and genocide.
excuse: traits
People with abnormal brain function are not responsible. Depression, diminished responsibility, delusion, disturbed mental balance, mind disease, and mental disorder can excuse responsibility.
