No, Ethics is a branch of philosophy.
ALL law enforcement agencies AND the prosecutor's office (Executive Branch of government) are charged with enforcing criminal law. The courts (Judicial Branch) are responsible for trying the cases.
The Executive branch administers and enforces criminal laws, primarily through agencies like the Department of Justice and law enforcement.
He is not prevented from doing so by either the law or the canons of professional ethics.
Ethics and the law
Yes. The judicial branch tries people accused of breaking laws (criminal trial), as well as people accused of committing torts (non-criminal, civil trial).
This is too general of a question because law is too specialized of a course. There is criminal law, civil law, probate law, corporate law, patent law, family law, contract law and the list goes on and on.
The matter of someones personal "ethics" are not enforceable by either criminal or civil law. There are charges of either "Misfeasance" or Malfeasance" that can be brought if a public employee violates their sworn "trust," in performing (or NOT performing) their duties. Perhaps that is what you're referring to.
In the US - at the state level it is the state legislature that makes the laws. At the federal level it is the US Congress.
That's commonly referred to as Civil Law.
ethics talk about right and rong, same with the law
Probably the simplest way to differentiate between ethics and law is the consequences of violating them. If you are unethical, you might get sued but may not go to jail. There are typically no criminal penalties for not adhering to reasonable computer ethics codes. Computer law, on the other hand, usually carries criminal penalties if you violate them - including potential imprisonment, fines, and seizure of assets. Those violating computer laws may also be forbidden to possess or access computer systems as part of their penalties or parole conditions.
Murder, rape, robbery, and assault all fall under criminal law, which deals with actions that are offenses against the state or public. This branch of law defines crimes, establishes punishments, and outlines the legal procedures for prosecuting offenders. Criminal law aims to maintain public order and protect individuals and society from harm.
