Defamation is the use of false words said or written that are harmful to another. Each person has a reputation or position within their community. When someone tries to change the view of a person with false statements, the law creates protections.  Certain statements may cause the loss of a job or affect  a career; others may simply affect how people regard another. Statements that falsely accuse or suggest that another person was involved in criminal conduct can have an indeterminant impact upon a person such that the law has created special protections.
