Answer to Question 1

A crime is public wrong, codified in law, prosecuted by the state, must be proven beyond a
reasonable doubt, and consequences can range from fines or imprisonment to the death penalty.
A tort is a civil wrong against an individual and it is up to the individual to bring legal action.
Torts only require a showing of a preponderance of the evidence and the consequences are not
considered to be as severe, usually limited to injunctions or financial awards to compensate the
victim. An act can be both a tort and a crime, and failure to prove guilt in a criminal case does
not preclude a victory in civil court, an example being the O.J. Simpson case.
