How is the Code of Criminal Procedure organized?

• A. The code is divided into two parts (Title I and Title II) that are divided into chapters and articles.
• B. The code is organized by subject matter with no titles.
• C. The code has five separate titles with independent structures.
• D. The code is divided into three parts with no chapters.

Answer: (D)

The Code of Criminal Procedure is organized into five titles, and each title is further divided into chapters and then into articles (or sections). This multi-level structure lets you locate rules by broad topic (the title), then by a more specific area (the chapter), and finally by the individual rule (the article/section). The idea that it has three parts with no chapters isn’t accurate, and it’s not simply two parts or five independent, unrelated items. The correct description is five titles with their own internal chapters and articles.
