Criminal Law
Criminal law pertains to the legal principles governing criminal activities, outlining the boundaries of behavior that pose threats to property, health, safety, and moral well-being. In South Africa, the standard for criminal convictions is evidence beyond a reasonable doubt, in accordance with our adversarial legal system. The basis of South African criminal law is rooted in common law, case law, and legislation.
