criminal conduct


Explanation:
According to LaFave (Criminal Law, 2003): “The substantive criminal law is that law which, for the purpose of preventing harm to society, declares what conduct is criminal and rescribes the punishment to be imposed for such conduct. ... As the above definition of substantive criminal law implies, conduct cannot be called “criminal” unless a punishment is prescribed therefor” (emphasis added).
