Answer:

Either criminal law or civil law

Explanation:

The United States has two laws. Criminal law and civil law. Criminal law deals with the offender who construed the offense against the public, the society, and the state. It is also a recorded immediate victim who is a human being. These can be murder, hit and run, assault, rap-e, etc.

The civil law deals with the offenses against the private property or cooperation and injury to a human being. These laws differ in how the cases are to be seen. How the case is initiated and define. What type of punishment and penalty are to be given to the criminal. What type of protection is available for the defender.
