Criminal law, also known as penal law, deals with government prosecution of a person that commits a criminal act. Since it is believed that imposing sanctions for committing a crime results in social order, criminal law legally punishes criminal offenses.

Anyone charged with a crime or under investigation is in a scary position. The prosecution typically benefits police officers, investigators, forensic specialists, and other resources with authority.
