1. causation

   Causation, in its broadest sense, refers to the concept that an action or event can produce a certain response or effect. It involves the relationship between cause and effect, where a change in one variable (cause) leads to a change in another variable (effect). In other words, it illustrates how one event, behavior, or belief directly leads to another. The principle of causation is widely used in fields such as science, law, philosophy, and psychology.

1. Causation

   Causation is the "causal relationship between conduct and result". That is to say that causation provides a means of connecting conduct with a resulting effect, typically an injury. In criminal law, it is defined as the actus reus from which the specific injury or other effect arose and is combined with mens rea to comprise the elements of guilt. Causation is only applicable where a result has been achieved and therefore is immaterial with regard to inchoate offenses.

Examples of causation in a Sentence

1. Paul Hunter:

   Whilst association does not necessarily mean causation it is difficult to escape the conclusion that celebrations around the Euros have been an important factor in driving up the epidemic in the U.K..

2. Hunt Allcott:

   Previous research mostly looked at correlation : How much do you use Facebook and how depressed are you ? these studies show that people who use Facebook more are more depressed, but the problem is correlation doesn't create causation. We didn't know if Facebook was making people depressed or depressed people were retreating into Facebook.

3. Spencer Kuvin:

   As far as her medical condition is concerned, I would leave medical causation issues up to the physician, but if there’s clinical support that the type of abuse she suffered at Epstein’s hands could be related to some of the conditions that she has, then obviously we ’ll pursue that theory in litigation.

4. Laura Berman:

   These studies can only suggest an association and can not establish causation, for example, some women who report high stress may also have decreased sleep, irregular or unhealthy diets, or increased rates of substance use.

   I think that there would need to be more studies to build up causation.
