Service Specific Criminal Law

Service Specific Criminal Law refers to the unique set of legal rules and regulations that govern the behavior of military personnel. Unlike civilian laws, these laws address offenses specific to military life, such as desertion, insubordination, and conduct unbecoming an officer. This legal framework is designed to maintain discipline, order, and effective operation within the armed forces. Violations are handled through military justice systems, such as courts-martial, which have different procedures and penalties compared to civilian courts, reflecting the particular needs and responsibilities of military service.
