tort Explanation: Maybe you could use the distinction between "tort" and "offence", I am not sure. http://www.answers.com/topic/criminal-law Criminal law, the branch of law that defines crimes, treats of their nature, and provides for their punishment. A tort is a civil wrong committed against an individual; a crime, on the other hand, is regarded as an offense committed against the public, even though only one individual may have been wronged. The real distinction lies in the way a remedy for the wrong is pursued. A tort is a wrong for which the remedy is pursued by, and at the discretion of, the injured individual or his or her representative, while a crime is a wrong for which the wrongdoer is prosecuted by the state for the purpose of punishment. However, the fact that a particular act has been or may be prosecuted as a crime does not necessarily preclude an injured party from seeking recovery from the offender in a civil action. |

civil offence Explanation: I think this is the UK term for it (see the BBC reference below). However, the term "civil offense" as used in the US has a different meaning - given on the freeadvice ref.

NOT FOR POINTS Explanation: Man delar in brott i tre kategorier. - Allmänna åtalsbrott - Är ett brott som åtalas av åklagare så snart denne får kännedom om brottet. De flesta brotten är allmänna åtalsbrott. Exempel kan vara rån och stöld. - Angivelsebrott - Är ett brott som åtalas av allmän åklagare först efter angivelse av målsägande, (den skadelidande). En allmän åklagare kan dock åtala, om han finner det påkallat ur allmän synpunkt. Exempel på detta kan vara inbrott eller bedrägeri. - Målsägandebrott - Är ett brott som inte åtalas av allmän åklagare utan målsäganden måste själv väcka åtal, något som mycket sällan sker. Exempel är våldtäckt eller misshandel. Målsägaren vågar ofta inte anmäla med tron att gärningsmannen gör samma sak igen. Förslagen "tort" och "civil offence" är således båda felaktiga. |
