Perth Criminal Law FAQs
Criminal law covers the only area of law where, if the allegation is proved, sentences of imprisonment and other highly punitive penalties or restrictions of liberty can be imposed by courts.
Criminal law can be contrasted with civil law where a breach may only involve civil fines and other consequences that do not involve a deprivation of liberty.
A criminal case is typically brought against an individual or company by or on behalf of the state, through police or the director of public prosecutions. In civil law, disputes will often be between parties and these parties can be individuals, companies, organisations and even governments.
Penalties for drug possession vary based on the quantity of the relevant drug, the maximum available penalty, the seriousness of the offence and an offender’s past history of criminal convictions, if any. Small quantities may result in cautions or warnings, while larger amounts can lead to fines or imprisonment.
