The abnormal step approach is a standard for distinguishing between preparation and attempt in a criminal case.[1]: 683  If a person takes a series of steps in preparation for a crime, then takes a step that a normal noncriminal person would have come to their good senses and held back from taking (an abnormal step), then that is evidence of an attempt.[1]: 683
