Law Vs Tort

The criminal law Is one that contains many complex and intricate parts. Why must such an important system be as complex as it Is in the United States? Why does the government make it so hard for regular everyday people to understand the basis of law and the difference between a law and a tort? They use words such as politicality, penal sanctions, and many more to perplex the public. I think that the reason for this is to make it harder for an everyday person to know his or her rights and for them to not know the basis of crime. In addition, this also contributes to the fact that some of these people are going to be forced at some time or another to hire an attorney in their defense. What is the problem with that?

Many sociologists came up with different theories about criminal law in the society and how it relates to public interest. However, I don’t think that these sociologists took into consideration how corrupt a society can become, when only controlled by the rich, and how the people who control the laws aren’t regular everyday working people. This is a problem that has been going on for quite some time and there is not stop to it any time soon.
