The word tort means "wrong." Legally, a tort is a civil wrong other than a breach of contract. Legal wrongs inflicted on the resources of others may be crimes as well as torts but the law of tort itself is civil rather than criminal. Tort law sets limits on how people can act and use their resources so they do not violate the right others have to their resources.
