Life in the UK Test 31
Which of the following is NOT classified as a criminal offence in the UK?
Correct Answer: Unfair dismissal or discrimination in the workplace
Unfair dismissal or discrimination in the workplace is a civil matter, not a criminal offence. It is handled by Employment Tribunals rather than criminal courts. Workers who believe they have been unfairly treated can bring a claim for compensation.
By contrast, selling alcohol to under-18s, selling or buying drugs, and carrying a knife are all criminal offences that can result in prosecution, fines, or imprisonment under UK law.
