CRIMINAL LAW

The Objective of Criminal Law

The purpose of criminal law is to punish people who
commit crimes. The type of punishment depends on
the crime. Criminals who commit minor crimes such
as trespassing usually receive a light punishment.
They often get a fine or are put on probation.
When criminals offend many times, they get a
heavier punishment. They go to jail. Criminals also go
to jail when they are dangerous to others. For
example, someone who commits assault and battery
gets sent to jail.
Capital punishment is the most serious punishment. It
is reserved for the worst crimes, such as murder.
