Which is not an example of civil corrective action?

  1. Negligent homicide

  2. Monetary fines

  3. Community service

  4. Injunctions

The correct answer is: Negligent homicide

Negligent homicide is not considered a civil corrective action because it involves a serious criminal offense rather than a civil issue. Civil corrective actions are typically associated with disputes between individuals or organizations where the goal is to rectify a wrong without criminal penalties. In contrast, negligent homicide is a crime that occurs when a person's negligence results in another person's death, and it is dealt with in the criminal justice system, leading to potential imprisonment and criminal penalties. The other options, such as monetary fines, community service, and injunctions, are mechanisms used in civil cases to provide remedies or enforce compliance without implicating criminal charges. These actions aim to correct behavior or provide restitution in a civil context rather than addressing a violation of law that results in someone’s death.
