⚠️ The trap

In Italian criminal law, 'omissione di soccorso' (failure to render assistance) is a specific crime. Italy also has 'omissione di atti d'ufficio' (official negligence — failure of a public official to act). English 'omission' is used in law but these specific Italian criminal categories have no direct English equivalents.

To say "leaving something out; a failure to include" in Italian:

omissione

"omissione" in English means:

an omission; a failure to act that constitutes a crime or violation

Example

"È stato condannato per omissione di soccorso."

"He was convicted of failure to render assistance."
