 Laws
established by the legislature. Laws dictate how we as a society act
in concert to protective ourselves, our families, business and civil
rights. There are two forms of laws criminal and civil (common).
Another form of law is international law which controls how nations
interact with one another.
Criminal Laws:
"Criminal law is
the body of law that
relates to crime.
It proscribes conduct perceived as threatening, harmful, or otherwise
endangering to the property, health, safety,
and welfare of
people inclusive of one's self. Most criminal law is established by statute,
which is to say that the laws are enacted by a legislature.
Criminal law includes the punishment and rehabilitation of
people who violate such laws. Criminal law varies according to jurisdiction,
and differs from civil
law,
where emphasis is more on dispute resolutions or victim compensation,
rather than on punishment or rehabilitation.".
