Question

What is a crime? How does it differ from a civil wrong? What is the difference between “White collar” and “blue-collar” crimes?  

Answer 1

Ans- A crime is an act done by a person which is against the laws of a country or region whereas on the other hand the civil wrong means that any wrong done by citizens or person who may be unintentional, which results to damages such as death, personal injury, property damages, nervous shock or any consequential loss.

The difference between crime and civil wrong is that Criminal wrongs are considered to be wrongs against the community as a whole, while civil wrongs are considered to be a wrongs against the individual.

White collar crimes are committed by citizens that are in a “higher” social class, whereas blue-collar crimes are committed by people from a “lower” social class.
