Answer for Offence:

1. The legal concept of an offence refers to a specific act or omission by an individual that is
considered to be against the law. An offence is a violation of a law or regulation that is
punishable by the state, usually through fines or imprisonment. Offences can be classified as
either criminal or civil, depending on the nature of the violation.
2. Criminal offences are more serious offenses that involve harm to a person or society as a
whole. They are usually prosecuted by the state and can result in imprisonment or other
severe consequences. Examples of criminal offences include murder, assault, theft, and drug
trafficking.
3. Civil offences, on the other hand, are less serious offenses that involve harm to an
individual or their property. They are usually prosecuted by the individual affected and can
result in monetary damages or other forms of compensation. Examples of civil offences
include breach of contract, negligence, and defamation.
4. Regardless of the type of offence, the legal system is designed to protect individuals and
society as a whole by holding offenders accountable for their actions and enforcing the law.
