Sue is in her apartment complex when she hears screams and what sound like gunshots. However, she fails to call 911. Has Sue committed a crime due to her failure to call the police? Explain.
What will be an ideal response?
The failure to act, an omission, or the outright refusal to act may be considered criminal. Generally, however, an omission must be coupled with a legally imposed duty. In the absence of a legally imposed duty, Sue's failure to act is not a crime.
