Criminal law is primarily about which type of wrongdoing?

• A. Administrative regulations.
• B. Family disputes.
• C. Offense against another person or thing.
• D. Intellectual property.

Answer: (C)

Criminal law centers on actions that violate the rights of others and threaten public safety. These are offenses against another person or property—things society prohibits and punishes, with penalties like jail or fines. The other areas listed aren’t the main focus of criminal law: administrative regulations are about regulatory compliance set by agencies, family disputes are typically civil or private-law matters, and intellectual property concerns rights in creations and can involve civil remedies (though sometimes crimes exist, that’s not the core idea). So the best description of criminal law is that it targets offenses against people or property.
