Canadian Criminal Code

The Canadian Criminal Code is the set of laws that define what actions are considered crimes in Canada and establish the punishments for those crimes. It covers a wide range of offenses, from theft and assault to more serious crimes like murder and drug trafficking. The code provides legal procedures for investigating, prosecuting, and trying offenders, ensuring justice is fairly administered. It helps maintain order and protect citizens' rights by clearly outlining criminal behavior and corresponding penalties, serving as the foundation of criminal law in Canada.
