cultural defense  

Définition

  • A cultural defense is an affirmative defense used by defendants to explain their behavior and the inability to conform their behavior to the law. This rationale is used by defendants to argue that the beliefs of their culture dictate their actions and therefore make them less culpable when committing a crime.
