A criminal defence lawyer: Kyiv, Kharkiv and Dnipro will not be left without a good criminal lawyer
Criminal law, a body of laws that defines criminal offences, regulates concerns, accusations and trials against suspects, and also establishes the punishments and regimes of treatment applicable to convicted offenders.
Criminal law is only one of the ways in which organised societies protect the security of individual interests and ensure the survival of the group. In addition, there are standards of conduct enforced by the family, school and religion; office and factory rules; provisions on civil life imposed by ordinary police powers; and sanctions available through torts. The distinction between criminal law and tort law is difficult to draw with real accuracy, but in general it can be said that a tort is a private injury, whereas a crime is regarded as an offence against the public, even though the actual victim may be an individual.
The principle of legality is recognised in almost all legal systems worldwide as the cornerstone of criminal law. It is used in four senses. First, there can be no crime without the rule of law; thus, immoral or antisocial behaviour that is not prohibited and punished by law is not criminal.
Types of criminal offences
Crimes are usually divided into four categories: felonies, misdemeanours, and offences of strict liability. Felonies are usually punishable by more than a year in prison, while misdemeanours are punishable by less than a year. For strict liability offences, all the prosecution must prove is that the person engaged in a certain behaviour. Once the behaviour or act is satisfied, the person is found guilty regardless of whether the person knew or was even aware that he or she was engaging in prohibited behaviour. For example, statutory rape is a strict liability offence.
