Bill March 28, 2000 Laws are made to maintain order by setting restrictions on conduct and to protect the rights of parties. There are three types of laws, which are: tort law, criminal law and contract law. Tort law is a civil wrong, criminal law is a public wrong and contract law is a wrong against a contract, written or oral. Tort law is the primary source for the authority of private security officers and the limitations on such authority. Tort law varies from state to state. The law of torts is found in both legislation and court developed by common law. Common law is a set of statutes, which have to be followed and rely on prior court decisions to help us decide on issues where there is no prior statue or how to interpret what a statue says. Tort law doesn't apply specific authority for private security officers (PSO), but does define some limits on the conduct of PSO.

Which means that if one-juror thinks that the person is innocent or guilty and the rest think otherwise, there is a mistrial and the person gets retried. If the person was to be convicted of a crime beyond a reasonable doubt the person will punished by imprisonment, an alternative to incarceration, an example is electronic home confinement and the last punishment could possible be a fine. To be convicted of a crime the court must show that the person had mens rea and acts rea. Mens rea is the guilty mind, which means that the person had the intent to commit the act and actus rea is the guilty act itself.
