Criminal Law

Description

Criminal law is the state’s arbitrary checklist of forbidden acts, weighing freedom on the scales while redrawing the line between punishment and permission. Under the guise of justice, it functions as an executive order embodying the intentions of power. Through the knights of the bar, courtroom drama choreographs a performance where social order and public fear share the stage. Intricate fixtures of statutes and precedents become the director forcing citizens to dance in a theatre of surveillance and retribution. Innocents, under the name of justice, unwittingly play both leading and supporting roles in this tragicomedy.
