Misprision
（重定向自Misprison）
Misprision (from Old French:mesprendre, modern French:se méprendre, "to misunderstand") is a term of English law used to describe certain kinds of offence. Writers on criminal law usually divide misprision into two kinds, negative or positive.
It survives in the law of England and Wales and Northern Ireland only in the term misprision of treason.
