“1) the legislative history, title or context of a criminal statute; 2) similar or related statutes; 3) the severity of punishment (greater penalties favor culpable mental state requirement); 4) the danger to the public of prohibited conduct (greater danger disfavors need for culpable mental state requirement); 5) the defendant's opportunity to ascertain the ° operative facts and avoid the prohibited conduct; 6) the prosecutor's difficulty in proving the defendant's mental state; and 7) the number of expected prosecutions (greater numbers suggest that crime does not require culpable mental state).”
