Criminal law explains criminal offences and its elements and the punishment for the convicted offenders as an effective means of social control. The most essential feature of the U.S. criminal law is its provision for favorite punishment. positive criminal laws prescribe rules and regulations to behold and contain higher standards of conduct.

According to the U.S. constitution there are obvious crimes called strict liability crimes like drug abuse and weapon offences where the act itself is sufficient to punish the offender. Here the criminal law imposes liability without fail. In the U.S. crimes like conspiracy, terrorism and sexual harassment are dealt under inchoate crime laws where anyone aiding in planning and execution of the crime is subjected to the same penalties as a person who actually commits the crime. The crime could be the result of a reveal cause or a good cause or an intervening cause. Therefore, criminal law gives astronomical importance to the plan of causation.

Everybody wants the criminal to be punished for the crime he has committed. Penalties should be of such nature that the criminal would not dare reveal the act he has committed.
