INTRODUCTION
Crime is defines as an act or omission which constitutes crime and punishable under law.
The UK common law provides rules and regulation to govern the society. The criminal law of
the United Kingdom is very complex and enforcement is done to provide security and safety of
life. The criminal law system ensures justice to the victim and provides mechanism to enforces
these rules. Crime requires an act with guilty mind to commit an offence. Criminal law
administered the social behaviour that may arise situation from street corners to domestic
quarrels. With the development of new technology, professional community and societal
changes, the number of crimes are also increased. The criminal law system is based on various
theories that attempts to defines crimes and their causes. These legal system is required to
maintain social integrity and peace in the society. This report will explain the contemporary
issues in criminology and other issues that ensure criminal justice in the society.
TASK 1
The act which is ruthless enough to effect the society in whole or anguish the life of a
individual is a crime (Ambos, 2021). It is a voluntary act which is heinous that cause
psychological trauma which gives a period of grief, including the damaged to the property of an
person, physical ambush which cause harm to an individual. The penalties and the punishments
for the crime or offences arises formulated in the Criminal Law of United Kingdom, which
protects the society as whole , the mechanism of the principles of the criminal law,defines the
aim which is to get the victim embodiment justice , take down the offender in the court of law for
the punishment an individual deserves, providing with the fair and just trial to the victim and the
guilty minds will be convicted. Proving beyond a reasonable doubt is an principle on which the
criminal law works,from proceeding to sentencing of the offender, this report of mine will

Crippling mistreatment is against the law, when the person who is affected by it feel the
hurt or the loss suffered, the criminal law of England and Wales looks out for the society at
large.
Which does not mean it ignored an particular individual just notwithstanding with the private
rights of an particular person, the justice and truth must prevail is the head of the court of law
area , the punishments which are prescribed are to be taken on record accordingly so that no man
should walk out freely if have done a harmful act or damaged anyone property or life. Offences
under the criminal law is of various types ,the list of violences occurs is namely as, sexual
offences ,murder, manslaughter, culpable homicide,non-sexual offences,fraud,defamation,
domestic violence , the cyber crimes which results into someone's death, tampering with thee
evidence or hostile the witness is also considered as the criminal offence. An criminal malice or
felony depends on the three elements of the law related to the crime , firstly the actus reus,
meaning the guilty act of the persecution of the offence , Secondly, mens rea,which the guilty
mind of the offender who have built the tyranny inside and set up the torment and Thirdly, the
novus actus interviniens, it means an intervening in the middle of an act which is differing the
matter between the defendant and the plaintiff , and putting the court in the question of confusion
(Grossio, 2022). Withholding presence of all the three elements of the crime, the justice system
of will consider the the person guilty and punish with offender accordingly, the court takes the
time to understand the facts of the case , by putting the facts together with the principles of the
law and regulating which are the doctrines which deems to be fit in regard with the case , but the
court gives a chance to every wrongdoer , to explain himself , every person have right to
defence , a right to have an attorney , cannot be charged for a jeopardy twice(double jeopardy),
every person is considered to be innocent until proven guilty , the statements of the world
renowned jurists, like Jeremy Bentham says it all , that there are right to the evil-doer, yes that
person wholly is a threat to the society but his right and freedom to defend himself in a fair trial
cannot be waived off (Bokovnya, Khisamova and Begishev, 2019). In my opinion crime
happens to anybody is the one who is suffering , where it is a huge barrel of crime or the level of
crime is remote , even the trifling of an incident occurs can change the life of an individual, the
shallow mentality of a criminal or the offender who have diminished the victim through and
through, feel difference of opinion sometimes, he plead guilty to misdeed , sometimes the felon
who have committed the felony pleads guilty which the work of house of lords less complicated,
