Criminal law is very important because of the role it plays in our society. Many people have received justice and others punished as a result of their actions against this law. The nature of this law is what makes it different from other laws. It would be right to say that all other laws that are not criminal laws are classified under civil law. The main difference between criminal law and civil law is the nature as well as the proceedings of criminal law which are compared to the civil actions under civil law, (Dressler, 2015)……………………………….
