Criminal statutes must clearly define prohibited behavior to ensure that individuals understand what actions are illegal, which upholds the principle of legality and protects against arbitrary enforcement. Clear definitions help prevent vague interpretations, ensuring that individuals are only punished for conduct that is explicitly stated as criminal. This clarity also safeguards the rights of the accused by providing a fair notice of what constitutes a crime, thus promoting justice and accountability within the legal system.
