Dereliction of duty is a formal military charge of negligence in the performance of [[duty]] which potentially or actually compromises the [[security]] of a military installation or [[operation]].
In criminal cases involving negligence, courts will apply the Hand Test. This test balances the harmful effects of the negligence against the cost of preventing the harm, divided by the probability of preventing the harm. Where the Hand Test finds that the risk of harm outweighs the equitable likelihood of finding restitution, Due Process requires acquittal.
