Law and Criminality

My ideas of LAW and CRIMINALITY.

What?
Law is a set of rules made to prevent or reduce criminality. Criminality is when someone abuses the law by doing something against it.
Who?
Laws are made differently in different places. For example, in Malaysia, the laws are set by the government.
Laws are applied to everyone in the country: the public, organisations, government, businesses, throughout the country.
Why?
Laws are firstly made because of the crimes people make such as robbery, kidnapping and more. Therefore, laws were made to reduce the damage. People who break the rules (against the law) could be sent to jail.
Where?
Laws are set in every single country, also international law which applies for all countries.




Some quotes
The life of the law has not been logic; it has been reason.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
Law and justice are not always the same.
Gloria Steinem
Where law ends, there tyranny begins.
William Pitt, the Elder
Law is not law, if it violates the principles of eternal justice.
Lydia Maria Child
Ignorance of the law, which everybody is supposed to know, does not constitute an excuse.
Legal maxim

Crime
The main reason why crimes occur is because the criminals are in need of money or food and water. They start to steal/rob, and sometimes hurt or kidnap others for ransom which may cause innocents to be unfortunate.
But some crimes occur for their own leisure. Some can work but are lazy. Some are capable but lazy. Some just want to have fun and enjoy life doing crimes. Some are not raised correctly.
Crime in Malaysia could be bad for some people from better countries like London, but also can be considered good for other people from more violent countries Kenya.
