Term: MISFEASANCE IN PUBLIC OFFICE

Definition: Misfeasance in public office is when a person who works for the government does something wrong or harmful on purpose, or by accident because they were not careful enough. This is also called malfeasance.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Misfeasance in public office is a legal term that refers to the wrongful or improper exercise of power by a public official. This can include actions that are excessive, malicious, or negligent, and can result in harm to individuals or the public as a whole. It is also known as malfeasance.

Examples:

This can result in harm to individuals, damage to public trust, and a loss of confidence in the government and its institutions.
