Legal and Compliance
Criminal law is the body of law that defines offenses against the state or public and establishes punishments such as fines, probation, or imprisonment. It governs matters including prosecution, defense, evidentiary rules, and sentencing, and is practiced by prosecutors, defense attorneys, and judges within the criminal justice system. It differs from civil law in that violations are considered wrongs against society rather than disputes between private parties.
