malice, recklessness and criminal negligence

When your housemate plays their music and you don't want the music playing, as it bothers your sense of calm and quiet, that may be criminal negligence if they should have known the harm that it would cause.

When they play it anyway, after you have explained to me how it gives you a headache and makes it impossible for you to concentrate on your studies, they may be reckless.

When the housemate plans a raucous party the night before an exam, that would be malice.
