Criminal law is a branch of law that is based on the state’s power to penalise, and which in a broader sense includes: 1) substantive criminal law, 2) criminal procedural law (formal, procedural), 3) executive criminal law (penitentiary). As a branch of law, criminal law has a protective role, i.e. it protects certain relations and values.
Substantive criminal law refers to the regulations that define a certain type of behaviour as a criminal offence, sanctions, and conditions for the application of such regulations against perpetrators.
A misdemeanour is a wrongdoing that violates the public order, social discipline or other social values that are not protected by criminal law and other laws that define criminal offences. Misdemeanours and misdemeanour sanctions may be prescribed by law and the decisions of local and regional administration authorities.
