It is called in our language as fault To that reckless or negligent action, to an omission, that is committed voluntarily, that is, knowing that such conduct would lead to 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 the person who caused that damage, and as appropriate, receive compensation or a public apology. "Juan has to pay for his fault.”
Responsibility that someone has for committing a wrongful 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 there is no intention to harm another but the damage arises from negligence, gives way to remorse, that is, the person feels a tremendous sense of unease in his being for having done a bad deed.
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, here there is no reckless action to question, far from it, rather it is a necessity of life, however, guilt appears and is difficult to handle.
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 seriousness of the act, it may also merit a legal sanction.
Law: an act that damages and generates 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 subject, that is to say, that the fact that causes damage motivates a civil or criminal responsibility. 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, in the civil sphere, 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, the wrongful crime is given by the act or omission that generates a result described and sanctioned by criminal law, as a consequence of not having foreseen that result being the same foreseeable, that is, the culprit should have foreseen said result but, on the contrary, did not act with the care that the situation entailed.
One of the most common examples of homicide and culpable injuries, both criminal figures, occurs at the urging 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 opposite side we are 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 it accidentally shoots and injures another, he will be guilty of a negligent action for not making sure the gun is unloaded when cleaning it, but there will be no fraud.
Guilt will indeed be in both cases but in one there will be a clear planned intention to harm the other, 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 punish these acts and thus the judge will evaluate whether there was fraud or not, and this will end up being decisive at the time of the sentence attributed to 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..”
