legislature, enacted_by.The Crimes Ordinance (Cap. 200), last amended in 2024, is a law of Hong Kong relating to certain consolidated penal enactments. Like Macau, penal and criminal law in Hong Kong is generally different from what is applied in China (the National Security Law being a notable exception).
The Crimes Ordinance lists some, but not all, criminal offences in Hong Kong, with other major offences like the Offences against the Person Ordinance (Cap. 212) and Theft Ordinance (Cap. 210) punishing offences against the person and theft respectively.
