Criminal Law Overview

Criminal law defines the punishment of criminal offenses relating to threatening, harmful, or otherwise endangering one’s self or other’s property or person. Criminal law can cover all things relating to crime, criminal procedure, and evidence. Although the law typically covers similar topics worldwide, there are differences between each state, so it’s important to hire a criminal lawyer who understands the law well.
