Under criminal law, what is typically involved in cases?

  1. Restitution only

  2. Criminal liability leading to penalties

  3. Disputes between private entities

  4. A parties liable for restitution payments

The correct answer is: Restitution only

In criminal law, the focus is primarily on criminal liability that leads to penalties for individuals who have committed offenses against the state or society as a whole. This is distinct from a civil law context, where disputes between private entities are commonly addressed. In criminal cases, the prosecution must prove the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, which can result in various penalties, such as imprisonment, fines, or community service, depending on the severity of the crime. While restitution can be a component of some criminal cases, it is not the central concern. Restitution typically involves compensating victims for losses incurred but does not encompass the broader penalties established by law for the crime itself. Therefore, the essence of criminal law is centered around establishing liability and imposing penalties rather than solely focusing on restitution or financial liability between private parties.
