I'm sure it depends on the country and the crime. In the UK many laws 
are expressed as codes-of-practice written by, or case-law decided by, 
various regulators. Although they are only interpreting what Parliament 
gave them powers to do, albeit sometimes quite sweepingly.

In the USA I get the impression that this is how much of the FCC's work 
is conducted, for example.
