Strict Liability and Absolute Liability are two different legal theories in Criminal Law. Strict Liability applies with an exception, to those who have committed the crime even if they have no intentions of committing the crime. Whereas, Absolute Liability is more strict than the former, where the person will be accountable for committing the crime even if they did not know they had committed it. The person would still be accountable in an absolute responsibility case.
