What are administrative crimes?

Administrative crimes refer to violations of regulations or rules set by governmental agencies, rather than crimes against the penal code. These offenses typically involve non-compliance with administrative laws, such as failing to obtain necessary permits, violating health and safety standards, or breaching environmental regulations. Penalties for administrative crimes often include fines, license suspensions, or other regulatory actions rather than criminal prosecution. They aim to ensure compliance with established standards to protect public welfare and maintain order.
