legal prosecution for offences / breach of the law


Language variant: UK

Explanation:
legal prosecution for breach of the law
prosecution under criminal law for offences (an offence).

I would prefer it this way round...
Not many offences are legal to my way of thinking, and if they are, you won't get far with prosecution in court.

But perhaps I'm just nit-picking.
