СОСТАВ ПРЕСТУПЛЕНИЯ ФОРМАЛЬНЫЙ - состав преступления, объективная сторона которого ограничена самим действием (бездействием) и не требует наступления конкретных последствий (напр., вымогательство, дезертирство). http://dic.academic.ru/dic.nsf/lower/18369 СОСТАВ ПРЕСТУПЛЕНИЯ МАТЕРИАЛЬНЫЙ - состав преступления, объективная сторона которого предполагает помимо действия (бездействия) наступление конкретных последствий (напр., убийство). http://dic.academic.ru/dic.nsf/lower/18368 В одной книжке нашла такое: Formally and materially defined crimes. In formally defined crimes, a cetain type of conduct is prohibited irrespective of the result of such conduct. Examples of crimes falling in this category are the possession of drugs, driving a motor car negligently, pperjury, rape. Let us consider the example of rape: here the act consists osimply of sexual penetration. The result of such act (for example, the question whether or not the woman became pregnant) is, for the purposes of determining liability for the crime, irrelevant.In materially defined crimes, on the other hand, it is not specific conduct which is prohibited, but any conduct which CAUSES a specific condition. Examples of this type of crime are murder, culpable homicide and arson. Let us consider the example of murder. Here, the act consists in causing a certain condition, namely the death of another person. In principle it does not matter whether X caused Y's death by stabbing him with a knife, shooting him with a revolver, poisoning him or in the dark showing him a path to a destination which X knows will lead him over a high precipice. The question is simply whether X's conduct caused Y's death, irrespective of what the conduct was. Sometimes formally defined rimes are, for the sake of brevity, dubbed "conduct crimes" and materially defined crimes "result crimes".
