What is the word for something that is punishable by law, but is not a crime? @osknows: that is not what I am looking for, staying in the apartment after the lease is up does not violate any state law, just violates a contract. I am looking for a word about things which are a direct violation of state law, but not so much to make it a crime. For example since 2010-01-01 in Czech Republic possession of up to 15 grams of Marijuana is no longer a crime, but is still against state law, and can be punished, like parking where forbidden can be punished, but doesn't prevent you from answering the question "Do you have a clean criminal record?" with "yes". |

What is the word for something that is punishable by law, but is not a crime? @DavidSchwartz offense is too broad, it includes also crimes. But I have now found also the term "petty offense" being used as a translation of "wykroczenie", which seems more acceptable. |

What is the word for something that is punishable by law, but is not a crime? @Dusty the distinction between the "thing" I am looking for and a crime is not whether you can't be put in jail for it or can. The distinction is whether your criminal record afterwards is clean or not. Even in Poland you can in rare cases be arrested (up to 30 days) for a "wykroczenie", but it still won't show up on your criminal record. |
