(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Criminal law is the body of law that relates to crime. It regulates social conduct and proscribes threatening, harming, or endangering the health, safety, and moral welfare of people. It includes the punishment of people who violate these laws. Criminal law differs from civil law, whose emphasis is more on dispute resolution and victim compensation than on punishment.

Five objectives are widely accepted for enforcement of the criminal law by punishments: retribution, deterrence, restriction, rehabilitation and restoration. Jurisdictions differ on the value to be placed on each.

Retribution - Criminals have taken improper advantage, or inflicted unfair detriment, upon others and consequently, the criminal law will put criminals at some unpleasant disadvantage to "balance the scales."

Deterrence - The aim is to impose a sufficient penalty to discourage the offender from criminal behavior. General deterrence aims at society at large. By imposing a penalty on those who commit offenses, other individuals are discouraged from committing those offenses.

Restriction - Designed simply to keep criminals away from society so that the public is protected from their misconduct. This is often achieved through prison sentences today.

Rehabilitation - Aims at transforming an offender into a valuable member of society. Its primary goal is to prevent further offense by convincing the offender that their conduct was wrong.

Restoration - This is a victim-oriented theory of punishment. The goal is to repair, through state authority, any injury inflicted upon the victim by the offender.

Czech PM resigns

After claims of organised crime and corruption in the Czech government, Czech Prime Minster Petr Necas has decided to resign.

The scandal reads like the script of a European television thriller, (1) melding politics with human drama.

The pressure had been growing on the prime minister since Friday when his chief of staff, Jana Nagyova, was charged with corruption and abuse of power. Detectives said she was suspected of (2) bribing MPs with jobs in state-owned companies.

Last week, police (3) raided government offices and seized $8m worth of cash and gold. The chief of staff is also accused of ordering spying on Prime Minister Necas' wife.

(4) Intriguingly, he said in his resignation speech that what he called the (5) "twists and turns of his personal life" were a weight on the political situation in the country.

It is not clear if the president of the country will (6) rule that there should be a new general election, or whether some form of the existing coalition government will continue with a different prime minister.
