This page really needs some citations. Especially the parts about failing to report a crime. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.23.115.216 ( talk) 00:18, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

This is a law page, so examples usually take the form of statutes and cases heard in court because they can be verified. I have heard of this television program but I have never watched it. I have no idea whether you are right or not in asserting that this is an example. So please supply authority that can be verified. David91 00:41, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
This page reads in part "A person who learns of the crime after it is committed and ... simply fails to report the crime, is known as an accessory after the fact." (s. 1). A layperson's reading of the US federal statute (s. 4.8. of the same page) suggests that this is not in fact sufficient. Further, there seems to be no requirement to report crimes, at least in the US and UK. US: sorry, I could not find a better link, look for 3rd paragf after the blockquote: http://volokh.com/posts/1133293946.shtml. UK: http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/CrimeJusticeAndTheLaw/Goingtocourt/DG_070444 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.2.223.28 ( talk) 06:04, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
"Accessary" is the correct and original spelling. This should be mentioned in the introduction to the article and "accessary" should redirect to this article. I don't know how to implement this myself though. ( Huey45 ( talk) 05:54, 29 May 2010 (UTC))

Shouldn't there be some discussion of types of accessory, e.g. before and after the fact? In some jurisdictions, e.g. Scotland, accessory after the fact is not a crime. Bill ( talk) 05:41, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
