Correct Answer: 2 General Abetment vs. Public Servant Abetment The law imposes a much higher standard of conduct on public servants. The punishment varies based on who the abettor is: Section 51 (General): If an ordinary person abets a crime and it is not committed , they are liable for one-fourth (1/4) of the longest term for that offense. Section 52 (Public Servant): If a public servant, whose duty is to prevent that specific offense, abets it and it is not committed , the punishment is doubled to one-half (1/2) of the longest term.
