Abstract
This paper examines how mala prohibita refers to acts that are considered wrong because they are in direct violation of a statute, and they are wrong on their own and do not require a criminal or guilty mindset for the establishment of guilt. In particular, the paper looks at how the taking of dental impressions or a teeth cleaning conducted late at night in the absence of any supervision and outside the confines of a dental education is a violation of the Dental Practices Act and is a mala prohibita.
From the Paper
"Chapter 108 of the Dental Practices Act is entitled "Professional Conduct" and clearly and succinctly outlines exactly what is expected and required of dental professionals licensed by the State of Texas. The admonissions contained within this chapter are poignant, ". . .a licensed dentist shall conduct his practice on the highest plane of honesty, integrity, and fair dealing. . .in order to safeguard the dental health and welfare of the public. . ." (Professional Conduct 108-A-1). The preamble to Rule 108 is a stern warning and a introduction to an extensive list of prohibited activities that if violated place the entire profession, as well as those supervising dental students at extreme peril, and flirting with the disastrous ramifications of ethics violations and discipline by the Board of Governors."

Abstract
The paper examines the seven classifications of crime listed in the Uniform Crime Reporting Program. The paper determines which crimes might be considered "mala in se", crimes that are inherently dangerous or "mala prohibita", crimes not inherently wrong, but are considered criminal because their prohibition is necessary to regulate the general welfare. The paper asserts that the crimes in which human life is lost, in threat of being lost or violated in any way, should be considered "mala in se." The paper posits that crimes in which property or belongings are lost or taking away, should be considered "mala prohibita" because property is less valuable than human life.
From the Paper
"Murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, as defined in the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, is the willful (nonnegligent) killing of one human being by another. (www.fbi.gov) There are some homicides that are reduced to a lesser crime because there was no intent evident in the act. The intent to kill is where the defendant consciously desired to cause death or where the defendant intended to cause great bodily harm. There are other crimes of murder that are justified or excusable. An example of this is if an intruder entered a home with a gun, the occupants could murder the intruder and not be charged with a homicide. The occupants could argue that they were protecting their family from being murdered by the intruder."
