Why is malpractice not a crime?
Malpractice is not considered a crime because it pertains to negligence or failure to meet professional standards in fields like medicine or law, rather than a violation of criminal law. It typically results in civil lawsuits where the injured party seeks compensation for damages rather than punishment of the offending party. Criminal acts involve intent to harm or violate laws, while malpractice usually involves unintentional errors. Thus, it falls under civil liability rather than criminal liability.
