Often, crimes are characterized as either malum in se—inherently evil—or malum
prohibitum—criminal because they are declared as offenses by a legislature. Murder is an
example of the former. Failing to file a tax return illustrates the latter. Some jurisdictions no
longer distinguish between crimes malum in se and malum prohibitum, although many still
do. - Answer -From the information given above, it can be validly concluded that
some jurisdictions still distinguish between crimes malum in se and malum prohibitum
A trucking company can act as a common carrier—for hire to the general public at
published rates. As a common carrier, it is liable for any cargo damage, unless the
company can show that it was not negligent. If the company can demonstrate that it was
not negligent, then it is not liable for cargo damage. In contrast, a contract carrier (a
trucking company hired by a shipper under a specific contract) is only responsible for cargo
damage as spelled out in the contract. A Claus Inc. tractor-trailer, acting under common
carrier authority, was in a 5- vehicle accident that damaged its cargo. A Nichols Inc. tractor-
trailer, acting under contract carrier authority, was involved in the same accident, and its
cargo was also damaged. - Answer -From the information given above, it can be validly
concluded that, in reference to the accident,
if Claus Inc. can show that it was not negligent, then it is not liable
A rapidly changing technical environment in government is promoting greater reliance on
electronic mail (email) systems. As this usage grows, there are increasing chances of

messages outside the scope of the investigation, has been sought and granted. In spite of
this, some people send messages through e-mail that would never be said face-to-face or
written formally. - Answer -From the information given above, it CANNOT be validly
concluded that
some e-mail messages that have been requested as part of investigations have contained
messages that would never be said face-to-face
