When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Alguns exemplos relevantes:
Crime cometido com emprego de veneno, fogo, explosivo, tortura ou outro meio insidioso ou cruel, ou de que podia resultar perigo comum.
https://www.tjdft.jus.br/consultas/jurisprudencia/jurisprude...
Na tentativa é possível atingir a consumação, pois os meios empregados pelo agente são idôneos, e o objeto material contra o qual se dirige a conduta é um bem jurídico suscetível de sofrer lesão ou perigo de lesão. Há, portanto, exposição do bem jurídico a dano ou perigo.
No crime impossível, por sua vez, o emprego de meios ineficazes ou o ataque a objetos impróprios inviabilizam a produção do resultado, inexistindo situação de perigo ao bem jurídico tutelado. (MASSON, p. 353)

Methods may also include certain objects, so "objects" instead of "method" may may be an option as well. There isn't enough context, so it may be a good idea to check with your client to see which translation works best.
