Which factor is NOT a type of agency liability?

Criminal liability is not typically categorized as a type of agency liability because it primarily pertains to the actions of an individual committing a crime, which can lead to criminal prosecution. Agency liability, on the other hand, primarily deals with how an organization or agency may be held responsible for the actions of its employees or agents under civil law.

Vicarious liability, negligent hiring, and negligent retention are all aspects of agency liability. Vicarious liability arises when an employer is held responsible for the negligent actions of an employee conducted within the scope of their employment. Negligent hiring involves an agency being held liable for not properly vetting an employee before hiring, leading to harm. Negligent retention occurs when an agency retains an employee who poses a danger to others, failing to act on known problematic behavior. These three concepts emphasize the responsibility of agencies to manage their personnel effectively to prevent harm, in contrast to criminal liability, which involves prosecution of individuals for unlawful acts.
