Which are Criminal Law (CL) Characteristics?

1, 3, and 5
2 and 4
1, 2, and 3
4 and 5

The correct answer is: 1, 3, and 5

Criminal law (CL) is a system of laws that deal with crime and the legal punishment of criminal offenses. The characteristics of criminal law include clear definitions of crimes and their associated punishments (1), the presumption of innocence until proven guilty (3), and the concept of crime as a violation against society as a whole (5). Option B is incorrect because it only includes two characteristics and misses the crucial concept of crime as a violation against society. Option C is incorrect because it includes the characteristics of definition of crimes and presumption of innocence, but it also includes a third characteristic that is not listed as an option. Option D is incorrect because it includes only the two characteristics that were not listed as options. Therefore, option A is the most complete and accurate answer.
