An act of omission refers to a failure to take action when there is a legal duty to do so, resulting in harm or potential harm to others. For example, if a caregiver neglects to provide necessary medical care to a dependent, it may constitute an act of omission. The punishment for such actions can vary widely based on the jurisdiction and the severity of the harm caused, potentially leading to civil penalties, fines, or even criminal charges, such as negligence or manslaughter in extreme cases.
