Criminal Law

Definition of Criminal Law

Have you ever watched the television show Law and Order? In the popular show, the first portion relates to a crime that was committed. This part of the show focuses on the police and detective work involved in trying to solve the crime and gather evidence to prove their case against the perpetrator of the crime. The second part of the show pertains to the legal system and shows how criminal law applies to the facts. Thus, you will see criminal law in action as it plays out in the courtroom. This program offers a very good insight into the body of criminal law.

Criminal law refers to a body of laws that apply to criminal acts. In instances where an individual fails to adhere to a particular criminal statute, he or she commits a criminal act by breaking the law. This body of laws is different from civil law, because criminal law penalties involve the forfeiture of one’s rights and imprisonment. Conversely, civil laws relate to the resolution of legal controversies and involve money damages.

There are various theories for why we have a criminal law system. Neither theory is exclusive or dispositive. The main theories for criminal law include: to deter crime, to reform the perpetrator, to provide retribution for the act, and to prevent further crimes. There is much discussion regarding these theories of criminal law and which policy is best promoted by the body of criminal law.

Practice in conducting criminal cases has a high level of importance because the lawyer must protect his clients who are suspected of murder or committing particularly serious crimes that are suitable for criminal liability. The future of the victims depends solely on themselves, on the lawyer, under whose protection they are, and on the results of the investigation. Based on the collected evidence, the court makes a decision.

Counsel for Criminal Cases

Criminal cases are a complex field of jurisprudence dealing exclusively with criminal offenses. The court’s decision – justify or blame the defendant – largely depends on the lawyer. First, the lawyer should develop the correct concept of conducting the case, which will lead to the justification of his client, and also to choose the right defense tactics in the trial.

To carry out comprehensive, impenetrable defense, the lawyer must collect all the necessary evidence so that when he submits them to the court he can remove all charges from the defendant. But it must be taken into account that the defendant should help as much as possible in collecting evidence on this case, and not wait for the information he receives from the investigation. Only then can the decision end in his favor.
