CIVIL AND CRIMINAL LAW (continued)

 

In many law systems it is important that a person is not guilty of a crime until the state proves that he is guilty. The person doesn’t need to prove anything. He can show evidence of his innocence.

Most criminal laws do with acts of violence or theft. But there are laws which regulate all possible situations: what we do with our land, for example; what we say and write; how we run our business, etc.

There are some acts which are crimes in one country but aren’t in another. For example, it is a crime to drink alcohol in Saudi Arabia, but not in Egypt. It is a crime to smoke marijuana in England, but not in the Netherlands. It is a crime to have more than one wife in France, but not in Indonesia.
