Key differences between criminal law and moral law Criminal law is the law of crimes and their punishments. It’s a system of laws having specific connections with punishment of citizens who commit crimes. Moral law is generally rules that citizens live by. These rules are enhance by having basic common sense and by knowing right from wrong. According to Kant, moral law is not giving to us. It’s a humans nature, freedom and reason The common approaches that the judicial system takes in order to ensure that the public upholds criminal law are independent judiciary and due process in criminal justice system, accountable and responsive policing in upholding the rule of law independence of judges, role of public prosecutors, and defence lawyers as a fundamental support of an effective criminal justice system. The relationship with these approaches are vital to the procedural rights of every individual involved in a criminal process. A balanced judicial measures to ensure integrity, non-discrimination, fairness and the quality of justice. Every case has the right to the due process of law. The principal of legality in other words is “no punishment without a law for it”. Im not with it nor against of the public need for the principle of legality, It’s obvious that there shouldn’t be no consequences if a statute wasn’t establish at the moment that the incident occur. Now if there was a statute established & an incident occurred then yes there should be consequences to face. In order for a law to be established and for it to known that it’s a law an incident has to happened. For example, I broke a glass vase (at the moment I didn’t know nor think it was against the law) and later get charge because a law was established for breaking glass vase. Most laws seem to be established like this. An mistake or crime has to occur in order to decided whether or not it’s legal or illegal. http://www.qcc.cuny.edu/SocialSciences/ppecorino/ETHICS_TEXT/Chapter_8_Kantian_Theory/M
