Is a crime or tort more frightening?

It is probably about a draw. The distinction between the two is that a crime is an action or inaction that has been defined by statute as unlawful, and for which a penalty, such as jail or a fine, is prescribed. Stated otherwise, a crime is considered to be a wrong against "society", although an individual may be the immediate victim. A tort is considered to be a wrong against an individual and typically commands money damages if proven. The wrong can be mild or severe, and if severe, can be extremely frightening. Some torts can rise to the level of crimes, such as assault and battery. To constitute a crime, the acts must be accompanied by an intent to do harm, not just an element of foreseeability that they will.
