Criminal Law Quizzes, Questions & Answers

We all deal with criminal law every day. Legal signs promise to prosecute shoplifters, warn us of speed limits, and announce fines for littering. Most of us will hopefully never be involved with the criminal law system beyond the occasional traffic ticket, but it’s still important to know how it works.

Can you get pulled over by a police officer in an unmarked car? Is there really such a thing as a “citizen’s arrest” like we see in movies? Can you define terms such as “mens rea” and “mala prohibita”? What is the difference between robbery, theft, burglary, and shoplifting, and how do the punishments different? Try out some of our quizzes and see if you’re ready to go to court!
