/tæsɪt kəmˈplɪsɪti/ – Phrase
Definition: đồng phạm ngầm.
A more throughout explanation: Tacit complicity refers to the situation where an individual or entity is involved in a wrongful act or crime through their silence, inaction, or failure to prevent the act, thereby implying their agreement or consent to the wrongdoing. It implies that the individual or entity is aware of the wrongful act but does not actively participate in it, yet their passive behavior contributes to the commission of the act.
Example: The employee’s failure to report the illegal activities of their supervisor could be seen as tacit complicity in the wrongdoing.
