The emphasis is on the duties people have to do those acts which will ensure social order in the public interest. In the balance of public good versus individual rights, public good must win out. B. All at One Time Code law is made law. It is written in one piece, at one time, as a set of prescriptions which spell out in detail what must be done and what must be avoided. Most written criminal codes have a general section that states the basic principles and purposes of the law and code, and a specific section that details the acts which are prohibited.
Rational people can spell out such rules.
Codes are only as good as the thought that went into analyzing the problem of social order and public interest. D. Professional Administration Applying codes requires trained and skilled people, professional interpreters. They must know what is in the long, complex codes, and must be able to determine which sections of the code apply to which situations. If the administrators are properly trained and the codes are written well, the administrators should all arrive at similar conclusions. There is no need for nor room for interpretation of the law.
