Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nonfeasance refers to the failure to perform a required duty or obligation, which in this context means the failure of police officers to report the misconduct of their peers. Misfeasance and malfeasance involve performing a duty in a wrongful manner and committing an act that is inherently wrong, respectively, which do not specifically relate to the failure to report misconduct. Multifeasance is not a recognized term in this context.
