Crime and Punishment

 Crime and Punishment







Crime is an ilegal activity such as murder or robbery.


Punishment is a penalty imposed on someone who is convicted of a crime. It could be, for example, time in prison or a fine.

There is an important difference between criminal law and civil law. Criminal law deals with matters such as murder. Civil law deals with matters such as contracts or divorce. The police are not normally involved in civil law.

Crimes in the country according to intent can be intentional, culpable or preterintentional.
Intentional offences are those in which the person who commits the punishable act is aware of the damage caused and its impact is direct on the victim. The most common are theft and homicide. 

B. Types of punishment

These are the most common types of punishment:


    • Traffic ticket (speeding, parking): Leaves marks on driving record / involves paying a fine.
    • License suspension (drunk driving): Driving rights are removed for a certain period of time.
    • Fine (hunting out of season): Pay money as punishment for minor / petty crime.
    • House arrest (a young offender who is waiting to go to court): Remain in one's home for a certain period of time.
    • Community service (a youth that steals a car for the first time): Do volunteer work such as teaching children about crime or cleaning up garbage
    • Jail time (man who assaults his wife): Spend a certain amount of months or years locked away from society
    • Life in prison (a woman who commits homicide):Spend the rest of one's life in prison with no chance of going back into society.
