There is a lattice of torsion theories in simplicial groups such that the torsion/torsion-free categories are given by simplicial groups with truncated Moore complex below/above a certain degree. We study the restriction of these torsion theories to certain subcategories of simplicial groups. In particular, we prove that the categories of D.Conduché's 2-crossed modules and Ashley's crossed complexes in groups are semi-abelian and we give some descriptions of their torsion theories. These examples of torsion theories also give rise to new examples of pretorsion theories in the sense of A. Facchini and C. Finocchiaro, as well as examples of torsion torsion-free theories (TTF theories).
