Legal enforcement
Legal enforcement refers to the process by which laws are upheld and applied by authorities. It involves government agencies, such as police and judicial systems, ensuring individuals and organizations comply with laws and regulations. When violations occur, enforcement mechanisms may include investigation, penalties, fines, or other corrective actions to maintain order and protect rights. Essentially, legal enforcement ensures that rules are followed, and those who break the laws are held accountable, helping to sustain justice and social stability.
