Criminal cases in many common law jurisdictions, including Canada and the United Kingdom, are often styled as "Regina v." (or "R v.") because "Regina" is the Latin word for "queen." This designation reflects the monarchy's role in the justice system, where the state, represented by the crown, prosecutes individuals accused of crimes. In cases where there is a king, the term "Rex" is used instead. The format underscores the principle that offenses are considered crimes against the state rather than just against individual victims.
