Criminal law is a branch of law which concerns crimes which are committed against the public authority. It is distinct from civil law, which involves crimes which people commit against each other, not not necessarily against the public as a whole. Murder, for example, is covered under criminal law, because although there is a specific victim, murder in general runs against the interests of the public. By contrast, if someone fails to honor a contract, this is a matter for civil law.
Criminal law, in its widest sense, includes substantive criminal law, the operation of penal institutions, CRIMINAL PROCEDURE and evidence, and POLICE investigations (see CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION)
