The root word for defamation is "defame," which comes from the Latin word "diffamare," meaning to spread harmful information about someone's reputation.
Defamation is speech that wrongfully damages a person's reputation. It includes both slander, which is spoken defamation, and libel, which is written defamation. To prove defamation, the statement must be false, harmful to the person's reputation, and communicated to a third party.
To defame someone, that is, to impair their reputation by making false statements about them, is not usually a criminal offence but rather a civil wrong or tort which forms the basis of a lawsuit. In some jurisdictions this is simply called defamation but in others there are differences in law and procedure depending on whether the defamatory statement was published as an oral statement or as a written one. Oral defamation is called slander whereas written defamation is called libel.
Oral defamation is a tort, not a crime. However, if a person is charged with a crime (for example, harassment may fit here), that person will be arrested. If they are not allowed bail or cannot make bail, they will wait in the county jail until their case is called to trial.
