The omission of an actus reus refers to a failure to act when there is a legal duty to do so, which can result in criminal liability. Generally, for a person to be held liable for an omission, there must be a specific duty imposed by law, a relationship (such as parent-child), or a contractual obligation. In many jurisdictions, mere inaction is not sufficient for a crime unless it meets these criteria. Examples include failing to provide care for a dependent or not reporting a crime when required.
