Minnesota's Department of Administration:
A wrongful act, other than a breach of contract, such that the law permits compensation of damages.

Intentional torts are those wrongs which the defendant knew or should have known would occur through their actions or inactions. Negligent torts occur when the defendant's actions were unreasonably unsafe. (Cornell University Law School)
While some torts are also crimes punishable with imprisonment, the primary aim of tort law is to provide relief for the damages incurred and deter others from committing the same harms. (HG.org Worldwide Legal Directories)
Part I of this report concludes that Congress has the authority to enact tort reform legislation generally, under its power to regulate interstate commerce, and to make such legislation applicable to intrastate torts, because tort suits generally affect interstate commerce. (docuticker.com)

民事侵权行为
从词义来解释,“tort”是从拉丁语中“tortus”而来,意思是扭曲、不正常。作为法律专用词汇, tort在中世纪的法语中就已经指违反法律了。而且,这一术语带着这一含义最终——通过法国法律语言(古老的普通法法院的语言)—找到了通往英语法律术语的道路。除侵权行为外, tort没有其他含义,即从根本上讲, tort是指违反法律的行为。
