guiltlessness
This term describes a state of purity or absence of culpability, often carrying a clinical or legal tone when referring to the lack of a crime. It suggests a clean slate, where the individual is entirely detached from the burden of a transgression.
In a psychological sense, the word can describe a lack of internal remorse. This may be perceived positively as genuine innocence or negatively as a chilling lack of conscience, depending on whether the person actually committed the act in question. As an abstract noun, it is uncountable and cannot be pluralized, requiring phrases like a sense of or a state of to quantify it.
