A quick definition of lucri causa:

Term: LUCRI CAUSA

Definition: Lucri causa means "for the sake of gain" in Latin. It used to be an important part of the crime of larceny, which is stealing someone else's property. But now, the thief's intention to take the property is usually enough to prove the crime. Some people think that the thief must have a plan to make money from the stolen property, but most people don't believe this anymore. Instead, they think that the thief just needs to intend to keep the property or use it in a way that is against the law.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Lucri causa is a Latin term that means "for the sake of gain." In the past, it was an essential element of larceny, which is a type of theft. However, today, the thief's intent to deprive the possessor of property is generally sufficient to constitute theft.

For example, if someone takes another person's phone without their permission, it is considered theft even if they did not intend to sell the phone for money or gain any other type of advantage.

The generally accepted view is that the intent to permanently deprive the owner of their property or to deal with it unlawfully in a way that creates an unreasonable risk of permanent deprivation is all that is required to constitute the intent to steal.

Overall, lucri causa is a legal term that refers to the motive behind a theft or other illegal act involving property. It is important to understand this concept when studying criminal law and the elements of theft.
