Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A serious injury inflicted on a person by the unintentional act of another is not necessarily a crime, as it may be deemed an accident or lack of negligence on the part of the individual who caused the injury. Crimes are intentional or reckless acts that violate the law and can result in prosecution by the state, charges laid by the police, and punishment such as imprisonment.
