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