It is called in our language What guilt To that reckless or negligent action, to an omission, that is committed voluntarily, that is, knowing that that conduct It will cause a complication and damage to third parties.
Reckless or negligent action that causes harm to third parties and that is plausible of receiving judicial punishment
Generally, these types of actions are worthy of judicial punishment. Once they occur and generate the aforementioned damage to a third party, the latter may take legal action against who caused that damage, and as appropriate, receive compensation or an apology public. “Juan has to pay for his fault.”
Responsibility that someone has for committing an improper act
On the other hand, to the responsibility that falls on someone after having committed a wrong act we also call it guilt. “ If Laura fell it is my fault for not having been controlling her as she should have been.”
Guilt is a feeling that normally settles in people's consciences, and in many cases, especially when they don't there are intentions to harm another but the damage arises from negligence, gives way to remorse, that is, the person feels a tremendous
sensation of restlessness in her being for having done a bad act.A father who has to leave his children in the care of a third party because he has to work usually feels guilty, but of course, there is no one here. reckless action to question far from it but it is a necessity of life, however, guilt appears and it is difficult to handle it.
The fault being the Reckless or negligent omission or action that results in harm to another person and that depending on the situation and the severity of the act, it may also merit a sanction legal type.
Law: an act that damages and generates a civil or criminal liability that must be faced by its executor
At the request of Right, guilt refers to the omission of due diligence of a subjectIn other words, the fact that causes damage motivates civil or criminal liability. In civil law, surely, it will consist of the payment of a sum of money to repair the damage committed and in criminal law, guilt can be the cause of a penalty if the action is classified as a crime.
Then, on the civil level, whoever is at fault for something will have to repair it financially, while in the criminal sphere, he may be punished with a prison sentence if the fact is finally determined as a crime.
Wrongful crime. Scopes
For his part, wrongful crime is given by the act or omission that generates a result described and sanctioned by the law as a consequence of not having foreseen that result being the same foreseeable, that is, the culprit should have anticipated such an outcome but on the contrary did not act with the care that the situation supposed.
One of the most common examples of homicide and wrongful death, both figures penalties, occurs at the behest of traffic, when a motorist runs over a pedestrian without the prior intention of doing so obviously but rather because he was distracted. If he ends up killing him for that negligent action, or he receives nothing but injuries, the motorist will be prosecuted for manslaughter or wrongful injury, respectively.
The difference with the intent
Guilt will always imply reckless and careless actions, while on the other side we find ourselves on the fraud that is given by the knowledge and the will to carry out a punishable conduct that constitutes a crime. For example, when a man shoots another with the intention of hurting him there is a very clear intent, on the other hand, if a person is cleaning a weapon and the same accidentally shoots and wounds another, you will be guilty of negligent action for not ensuring that the firearm is unloaded when you clean it, but there will be no intent.
Guilt will indeed be in both cases but in one there will be a clear planned intention to harm the another, while in the second case it is the product of negligence or lack of foresight in something.
Of course, these considerations are evaluated by the justice when the corresponding judicial process is undertaken to sanction these acts and thus the judge will assess whether there was fraud or not, and this will end up being decisive at the time of the penalty attributed to the person.
On the other hand, at the request of the psychology, the guilt will be understood as that omission or action that generates a feeling of responsibility for damage caused. “Because of our decision to separate, our children suffered a lot..”
