A wrongful act is an act that is illegal or immoral. People who commit acts that are legally classified as wrongful may have to face criminal penalties, while people who commit immoral acts do not necessarily have to face any criminal or civil penalties. In most countries each area of law has a definition of a wrongful act, and prosecutors bringing defendants to trial must attempt to prove the defendant committed a wrongful act in order to win the case.Murder, theft, rape, and similar crimes are defined as wrongful acts under the legal systems of most countries. The police force apprehends people who commit wrongful acts and collects evidence of the act to be presented at court. Typically, courts only have legal jurisdiction to punish wrongful acts that were committed within a particular country or territory. Some countries have extradition treaties in place that allow for a person who commits a wrongful act in another country to be extradited back to that nation to stand trial. The court hearing the extradition treaty does not determine whether the accused committed a wrongful act, but instead determines whether the other nation has a basis for seeking the extradition and either approves or denies the extradition request.
