Question: 1 / 400

All criminal offenses are prosecuted in the name of...

The people of the State Of New York

In criminal law, all offenses are prosecuted in the name of the people. This includes state, federal, and international laws. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the appropriate governing body for prosecuting criminal offenses. City officials only have jurisdiction over local offenses and do not handle criminal cases. The federal government handles federal offenses, but not all criminal offenses fall under federal jurisdiction. The United Nations does not have the authority to prosecute criminal offenses. Therefore, option A is the only correct and logical choice for this question.
