Tort
I''ve removed the link to tort. I do not think this is a criminal law topic. Black's Law Dictionary says it is only civil. While the etymology of the word comes from Law French, it is used to describe a civil wrong. Please, correct me if I am wrong. Alex756 03:57 May 4, 2003 (UTC)

You aren't wrong. Wearing my extreme legal historian hat I can see a connection in that almost all of the current law of tort is really trespass wearing one guise or another. Trespass itself grew out of a criminal procedure, hence its focus (and the later common law of tort's focus) on wrong and damages. The "really" in my second sentence goes back as far as the 13th Century, so classifying tort as a crime, must be wrong now. Francis Davey 23:43, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Criminal justice gay and needs to die?
I'm sorry, but I find it hard to believe that you would be saying that when you find yourself in need of the law enforcement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nomander (talk • contribs) 18:41, 7 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, Normander. I removed the comment before I noticed your reply. I do think it acceptable to remove these, although perhaps there are more elaborate Wikipedia procedures that are usually observed? Cuvtixo

Quick explanation of Wikipedia outlines
"Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Outlines for a more in-depth explanation. The Transhumanist 00:04, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
