The purpose of torts is to compensate an injured party through the award of damages for the injuries incurred during a tortious act. null Policy considerations, such as maintenance of a peaceful society, social responsibility and the balancing of economic interests against societal benefits, play vital roles in tort law because it attempts to find a balance between the harm caused to individuals and the benefit to society. null Of course, societal wrongs are also dealt with in criminal law. The difference is that a tort is a wrong against an individual, whereas a crime is a wrong against society as a whole. However, some acts or omissions may be both criminal offenses and tortious ones. null Intentional torts Proof of an intentional tort requires showing that a protected right has been intentionally breached. Two major types of intentional torts are: 1) personal torts such as assault, battery, and false imprisonment and 2) property torts such as trespass to land and trespass to chattels(动产).
