  The Criminal Code shall be structured into chapters, which in turn are divided into articles and then one or more clauses within each article.  
  The major chapters of the Criminal Code shall be:  
  1. Introductory provisions
2. Code of conduct
3. Crime and social objectives
4. Criminal responsibility
5. Justice and Punishment
6. Offences against a individual
7. Offences against animals
8. Offences against non-carbon higher order life
9. Offences against the human family
10. Offences against Property
11. Offences against Public Decency and Public Morals

14. Offences against Public Security and Public Order
15. Offences against the State and Instruments of State
16. Offences against Trade and Financial Instruments
 
  While an article may belong to a particular chapter, the numbering of all articles is consecutive so that the entire body of articles of the Criminal Code may be read as one, with or without the chapter headings.
