California Penal Codes​

The California Penal Code serves as the cornerstone for defining criminal offenses and outlining criminal procedures in accordance with state law. This comprehensive set of regulations was first established in 1872 and has since undergone substantial revisions and amendments to remain current.

While each section of the penal code offers a formal explanation of a specific criminal offense, additional insight can be gleaned from court case rulings, historical legislative records, and instructions provided to juries. These resources further elucidate the application of individual sections.
