Criminal law involves crimes against the:

• A. State
• B. Individual
• C. Community
• D. Organization

Answer: (A)

Criminal law treats offenses as wrongs committed against the state or society as a whole, not just against a private person. The government prosecutes criminal cases to uphold public order and safety, reflecting the idea that crimes injure the community’s welfare. Even when a specific individual is harmed, the right to prosecute lies with the state, not the private victim. Civil law, on the other hand, handles disputes between individuals or organizations, such as contracts or torts. So the best answer is that criminal law involves crimes against the state.
