An attempt is a punishable offense. But in determining the penalty the court must also take into consideration the character, the degree of the danger to society involved in the act committed by the guilty person, the degree to which the criminal intent has been put into effect, and the causes that prevent the full commission of the crime.
A crime is considered as committed when the guilty person has performed the act containing the corpus delicti of crime.
Desisting from completion of a crime is possible in the stages of preparation and attempt when a person having the possibility, of completing the crime, of his own free will abandons his criminal intent before its completion. He is then responsible only in the act performed by him contains the corpus delicti of another crime.

Text A. The Birth of Law
Rules and laws – and the conventions or customs from which they are descended – have been a part of human life ever since our ancestors first began to live in large and settled groups. But our knowledge is vague of laws that were in effect before the invention of writing in about 3500 B.C. The earliest known legal text was written by Ur-Nammu, a king of the Mesopotamian city of Ur, in about 2100 B.C. It dealt largely with compensation for bodily injuries, and with the penalties for witchcraft and runaway slaves.
Text B. Laws of Babylon
One of the most detailed ancient legal codes was drawn up in about 1758 B.C. by Hammurabi, a king of Babylonia. The entire code, consisting of 282 paragraphs, was carved into a great stone pillar, which was set up in a temple to the Babylonian god Marduk so that it could be read by every citizen.
