Question

What do we mean when we speak of law enforcement? Who is responsible for enforcement? Why is enforcement so important?

Answer 1

Law enforcement means implementation of law. Government is responsible for enforcement. Enforcement is important when the law seeks to protect the people belonging to the weaker section from those who are strong and powerful. For instance, to ensure that every worker gets fair wages, the government has to regularly inspect work sites and punish those who violate the laws.
