Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Compounding a felony occurs when someone refuses to report or prosecute a felony in exchange for some benefit or reward of some value. This is a criminal offense in most jurisdictions.

The other answer choices are not correct for this scenario. Quasi-bribery refers to a situation where there is no actual bribe offered or taken, but there is pressure or influence exerted on someone to do something. Misprision of a felony is the act of concealing knowledge of a felony, rather than making an agreement not to report it in exchange for a benefit. Bribery involves offering or accepting something of value in exchange for an official act or decision.
