Can an omission be considered a crime?
Yes, both an "act" and "failure to act" (omission) can be crimes. One analysis defines it as the failure to act when you know you have a duty to act and have the ability to act. This refers to "legal" duty, not "moral" duty. Some examples: failing to file a required tax return, failing to register locally as a convicted felon, failure of a parent to obtain medical help for a child, failure to stop after a vehicle collision, failure to rescue someone fallen overboard from your ship. Other examples are a bit harder to spot: failure to stop someone who is beating your child, failing to rescue a comrade injured in a remote wilderness (murder?). Failure to maintain fire safety in a nightclub has resulted in indictments for criminal manslaughter when deaths occur from a fire. There may be a difference in punishment between negligent omissions and reckless or intentional omissions. The legal duty to act may arise from the relationship with the victim (parents), or relationship with the criminal (parents, employees), or by statute/ordinance (specific definitions of required acts), contract (e.g., crossing guard), land ownership (pollution, security for visitors), intentional creation of danger (punched someone in the street and left him to be run over), or by voluntary assumption of the duty (guardians).
