The challenges of criminal law
Criminal law is a crucial area that governs offences, from crimes to misdemeanours and contraventions, with the aim of protecting society by punishing reprehensible behaviour.
A criminal offence is behaviour that is considered to be contrary to the law. This is a violation of the established rules that can lead to legal proceedings and penalties. A criminal offence can take different forms, ranging from minor offences to the most serious crimes. Each offence has a specific definition provided for in the Criminal Code and other laws in force.
The criminal procedure can be complex, starting with the establishment of the offence, followed by a preliminary investigation, and potentially a judicial investigation. After referral to the trial court, the trial takes place, leading to a judicial decision.
When you are the victim of a criminal offence, you must react quickly: file a complaint at a police station or gendarmerie, in the event of physical or psychological sequelae, have a doctor draw up a certificate describing the injuries.
Victims have rights in criminal proceedings, during the investigation or before the trial court, and they can request the performance of many acts. Victims have a civil action for compensation that they can bring before the criminal or civil courts.
