Los Angeles criminal law deals with those statutes
involving crimes against the public and individuals
with penalties and all the procedures connected with
charging, trying, sentencing and imprisoning defendants
convicted of crimes. The harm that Los Angeles criminal
law aims to prevent varies: it may be physical harm,
death, or bodily injury to human beings; the loss
of or damage to property; sexual immorality; danger
to the government; disturbance of the public peace
and order; or injury to the public health.
Behavior that threatens to cause, but has not yet
caused, a harmful result may be enough to constitute
a crime. Thus, Los Angeles criminal law often strives
to avoid harm by forbidding conduct that may lead
to harmful results.
Los Angeles criminal law involves prosecution by
the government of a person for an act that has been
classified as a crime. Crimes are classified in many
different ways: common law crimes versus statutory
crimes, and crimes that are evil in themselves versus
those that are criminal only because the law says
so. An important classification is the division of
crimes into felonies or misdemeanors. This distinction
is based on the severity of the crime and is rooted
in common law. Persons convicted of a crime may be
incarcerated, fined, or both if the prosecution proves
them guilty beyond reasonable doubt of every fact
presented in the courtroom.
