FLegal Terms – Attempt
Attempt, in the context of criminal law, refers to the act of trying to commit a crime but not successfully completing it.

If a person performs an act that goes beyond mere preparation for committing an offense covered by this section, they are considered guilty of attempting to commit the offense. For instance, engaging in an act of shooting with the intention to harm someone but failing to hit the target could be considered as an act of attempted murder. However, simply purchasing a revolver without any accompanying criminal action would not constitute a crime. One can be deemed culpable for attempting to perpetrate a crime that ultimately proves unfeasible to execute.
