Criminal law deals with violations of any law or ordinance.

• A. Civil rights violations
• B. Criminal law deals with violations of any law or ordinance
• C. Administrative codes
• D. Constitutional rights

Answer: (B)

Criminal law defines offenses and penalties for acts prohibited by statutes and local ordinances, enforced by the government. This includes crimes created in state or local codes, and even violations of municipal rules can be criminal offenses in the right jurisdiction. Civil rights violations are typically addressed in civil court with remedies like damages or injunctions, not criminal penalties. Administrative codes are regulatory rules issued by agencies, and violations often lead to civil or administrative penalties rather than criminal charges. Constitutional rights describe protections against government action, and when those rights are violated, the remedy is usually a civil rights claim or constitutional challenge, not a generic criminal offense. So the statement correctly reflects that criminal law deals with violations of any law or ordinance.
