What is a "statute"?

A statute is a written law enacted by a legislative body, such as a parliament or congress. It establishes legal rules and regulations that must be followed within a particular area or region. Statutes are created through a formal process of drafting, debating, and voting, and they address various aspects of public and private life, including criminal conduct, civil rights, and administrative procedures. Once passed, a statute has the force of law and must be adhered to by individuals and institutions within the area it governs.

probacja

(law) a specific supervised period of time outside prison granted to a criminal, given they do not break a law during this period

What is "probation"?

Probation is a court-ordered period during which a person found guilty of a crime is allowed to remain in the community instead of serving time in prison, under certain conditions. These conditions may include regular check-ins with a probation officer, attending counseling, maintaining employment, or avoiding further criminal activity. If the individual follows the rules, they may avoid jail time, but failure to comply with probation conditions can result in more serious penalties, including imprisonment. Probation is often used for less severe offenses or when the court believes the person can be rehabilitated outside of prison.
