Criminal law is the branch of law that regulates the definition of crimes, the determination of the penalties to be applied to people who commit crimes and the rules regarding the execution of these penalties. In general terms, the legal regulations that the state imposes against crimes in order to ensure the order and security of society fall within the scope of criminal law. The main objectives of criminal law are as follows:
Defining crimes: It determines which actions are considered crimes and which behaviors are punishable. Crimes are regulated by laws and the types of crimes and how they are committed are defined.
Punishment and sanctions: The penalties to be imposed on people who commit crimes are determined within the limits set by criminal law. These penalties can be various sanctions such as imprisonment, fines, judicial control.
Determination of guilt and prosecution: Criminal law includes judicial processes that determine whether people who are alleged to have committed a crime are guilty or not. In this process, the criminal's right to defense, the evaluation of evidence and the protection of rights play an important role.
Criminal responsibility: This area determines whether a person is subject to criminal responsibility and how they will be punished when they commit a crime. There are also circumstances that prevent criminal liability, for example, mental illness or a forced act.
