Description:
For centuries different societies try to live in a way that keeps peace and order in place. To prevent people of doing whatever they want, and harming others while doing so, most countries in the world enforce some sort of law. These laws are rules all citizens have to live by. When they choose not to do so the are breaking the law and committing a crime.
Commiting crimes is illegal. Therefore people who do so are tried by law and get, if found guilty of committing said crimes, punished accordingly. A few examples of different kinds of law are:
- International law
- Constitutional and administrative law
- Criminal law
- Contract
- Tort
- Property law
- Trusts and equity
The law that is applicable depends on the type of crime that is committed.
After a person is found guilty of committing a crime, a suitable punishment is determined by the judged that trials the case. A few examples on punishments are:
- Prison sentance
- Fine
- Community service
The purpouse of punishing people for their crimes is not only to make them pay for their deeds, but also to prevent others of doing the same.
