Introduction to Law Deneme Sınavı Sorusu #730966
Which one is an example of an omission that is subject to criminal liability?
|
Not entering a building on fire to save someone |
|
Not interfering with armed bank robbers |
|
Not assisting a physically challenged man with his needs |
|
Not taunting a wild animal to protect a child |
|
Not going on the road to push someone while a speeding car is about to hit that person |
The duty derives from rendering assistance to someone in danger. Note that the Code creates a duty to act only to the extent that the citizen can do it without danger to self; further, only intervention to the extent of one’s abilities is required. This
means, for instance, that if a person cannot swim, he/she is not required to jump in the river to save a drowning person; he/she would have a duty, however, to alert others or to help the drowning victim by throwing in a life ring or doing some other affirmative act.
