Definition: The word "criminal law" refers to a set of laws, statutes, or rules that criminalize certain actions such as theft, robbery, murder, assault, drug trafficking, fraud, and other related crimes. In English legal terms, the term refers specifically to the legal system and the process by which it governs how people are prosecuted and punished for their actions. Criminal law is typically divided into different branches based on its function within the criminal justice system - such as civil law, criminal law, statutory law, common law, or criminal procedure. For example, a crime may be classified as a "criminal act" if it involves an overt act of violence or damage to property. A crime that is not clearly categorized would then be considered "non-criminal." The process for determining which crimes are considered offenses under the criminal law is governed by statutes and case law.
