Subject: Crime in England

Dear Colleagues:

How does one separate out true crimes from mere regulatory offences in the UK/England? Is such a distinction ever made? In Canada it is sometimes necessary since the federal government has sole constitutional authority over crime and almost all crimes are in the federal Criminal Code. Does this issue ever come up in the UK/England? Even if it is not done in practice, is there some good conceptual literature that deals with this distinction from an English common law perspective?

Any help would be appreciated.
