What Is Misdemeanor Law?
Misdemeanor law is a branch of law that governs the handling of minor legal violations — acts that do not qualify as criminal offenses but still disrupt public safety or social order. This legal area defines types of misdemeanors, the responsibility of offenders, and the procedure for conducting misdemeanor proceedings before the competent authorities.
A misdemeanor is an unlawful act prescribed by law or another legal act, for which a specific sanction is provided. Although misdemeanors differ from criminal offenses in terms of severity and consequences, they can still have a significant impact on public safety and order.
The most common types of misdemeanors include:
- Traffic violations;
- Disturbance of public peace and order;
- Violations of business and tax regulations.
