What is Criminal Law?
Criminal Law is the branch of law that determines which actions constitute crimes and what penalties apply to these crimes. It also safeguards the rights of individuals and limits the state's power to punish. In short, Criminal Law undertakes the duty of protecting both the security of society and the individual's right to liberty.
