Halakhah for Keritot 44:8

אלא הכא היינו טעמא דרבנן דפטרי דגמירי מצות מצות מחטאת מה להלן דבר שחייבין על זדונו כרת ועל שגגתו חטאת ועל ספיקו אשם תלוי אף כל שחייבין על זדונו כרת ועל ספקו חטאת ועל שגגתו אשם תלוי

speaks of an offence for which one is liable to kareth in the case of wilful transgression, to a sin-offering in the case of erroneous transgression, and to a suspensive guilt-offering in the case of doubt, so for all other offences, for which one is liable to kareth in the case of wilful transgress and to a sin-offering in the case of erroneous transgression, one is liable to a suspensive guilt-offering in th case of doubt; this excludes sacrilege, since for the wilful transgression thereof one is not liable to kareth, has been taught: If one committed sacrilege wilfully, Rabbi says, He is liable to the death penalty;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e. death at the hands of Heaven.');"><sup>7</sup></span>

Sefer HaChinukh

The commandment of a definite guilt-offering: To offer a sacrifice for well-known sins - that we will explain. And this sacrifice is called a definite guilt-offering. And it is a sacrifice of a ram that needs to be worth two sela (Keritot 22b). And there are some of these sins for which this sacrifice comes, that are whether he sinned inadvertently or whether volitionally; and there are some for which it only comes specifically for the inadvertent, but not for the volitional.
