ANSWER-

The word tort is derived from the Latin word "tortum"which means twisted. Tort represents that conduct which is not ordinary.A tort is a kind of civil wrong committed against another person.

For  Example -A and B are neighbors,if A visits B,s house its the duty of A to ring the bell and right of A whether to let him enter or not by giving permission and vice-versa.

if either of them does not follow this conduct they do wrong against the other.In other words, they commit a tort.

thus the law which governs every civil law is called the law of torts/civil torts.

points include

*it is largely uncodified.

*it awards nominal damages.

*torts are the violation of private rights.

*the tort law is binding.

WHEREAS in CRIMINAL LAW, Crime is the wrongful done to anybody and the state or government has categorized it as a crime that comes under the criminal law.

Criminal law provides a way to punish people who commit a crime and protect citizens from such wrongdoings.It is codified as the rule of law and constitutional law prescribes that crimes need to be specified.  Whereas TORTS are more private in nature crime represents a wrong against society at large.

criminal law is not only of binding nature but the default of it leads to serious consequences.

sometimes Crime can also be torts.

For example, let’s say Krish and Chunky find themselves arguing. Krish punches Chunky angrily and breaks Kris’s nose as a result. Krish is then accused of battery – a criminal charge – because it is illegal to physically assault another person in such a way.

However, Chunky also decides to sue Krish for the medical costs he has accrued due to his broken nose. As soon as Chunky sues for his personal damages, the case also becomes a tort. Krish may have to repay his debts to both society(in the criminal case) and Chris (in the tort case).

How frequently do you think corruption and misconduct occur in policing? Why?​
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Depends on what people think this is an opinionated question but here is what I thinks:

Explanation:

Not very often; as of 2020 with the murder of George Floyd people are way more decisive on police officers and how they do there job. This does not happen often. Up to many times of people saying corruption and police brutality there has been proof of someone handeling a gun, not co-operating, or being a threat. Im not saying it does ot happen but we need to look deeper than what we see and think.

SpyIntel [72]
For statement 1. It is a positive to an extent. Stop sighs can often be covered in graffiti, which can began to cost more and more every time you repaint them. For statement 2 and 3. Traffic signals would cause less accidents because of the fact that they “force” you to stop, they give every car a chance to go, and give pedestrians the right of way to walk as well.
