PUNISHABLE OFFENCES

Punishable offences are actions or behaviors that violate the law and are subject to legal penalties. These can include crimes such as theft, assault, fraud, or vandalism. When a person commits a punishable offence, they may face consequences like fines, imprisonment, or community service, depending on the severity of the crime and local laws.

Laws maintain order for societal peace, progress, and harmony. Citizens are expected to uphold law and order, with non-compliance leading to chaos, emergencies, and curfews. Fugitives are those who commit offences and try to evade the law. Offences jeopardizing societal stability include fraud, murder, rape, theft, armed robbery, kidnapping, drug trafficking/smuggling, child trafficking, electoral malpractices, and assault. Punishments of offences for breaking the law range from death sentences, imprisonment, amputation in some societies, loss of rights or position, flogging, and payment of fines.
