What is the focus of criminal law?

Disputes between private parties
Violations harmful to society enforced by prosecution
Laws applicable to military personnel
Regulation of business practices

The correct answer is: Violations harmful to society enforced by prosecution

Criminal law is primarily concerned with prosecuting and punishing actions that are harmful to society as a whole. It is focused on maintaining the safety and well-being of the general public, rather than resolving disputes between private parties (option A), enforcing laws for the military (option C), or regulating business practices (option D). While civil law may handle disputes between individuals, criminal law deals with more serious offenses that can have a larger impact on society. Therefore, B is the most accurate focus of criminal law.
