This word is legally used to refer to any fault or mistake made, either by carelessness or ignorance, likewise, it can be said that error is a mistake made that transgresses the moral or religious norms of a society. At the judicial level, a mistake is seen as an offense that can lead to a sanction. For criminal law, this term is taken as a contravention, which consists in the adoption of a conduct that goes against certain norms already established, and that could harm any legal good, but that nevertheless does not come to be appreciated as a crime, since its consequences are not sufficient to be taken as such.
For a person to be accused of a mistake, it is necessary that they first meet certain conditions: typical, unlawful and guilty. Once the legal procedure is carried out, it is the law that determines whether the seriousness of the event is great enough to be considered a crime. If the consequences of the fact are not serious, then the penalty that must be served is issued, of course, it must be a lesser penalty because it is not considered a crime, however the guilty person must pay anyway, in this case it is tried not punish with deprivation of liberty, but rather, apply sanctions that raise awareness, such as carrying out community activities.
In the religious sphere, when a person commits sin out of ignorance, he is still guilty. In the bible the book of Levitical says: "If every congregation of Israel is the one that makes a mistake, and the matter goes unnoticed by the assembly and they do any of the things that the Lord has commanded not to be done, thus making themselves guilty."
