Which term means judicial decisions determining guilt or innocence?

Explanation:
Criminal verdicts are the formal decisions handed down by the court (or by a jury) that determine whether the defendant is guilty or not guilty after weighing the evidence. This is the outcome that resolves the question of guilt or innocence and can lead to sentencing if the verdict is guilty. The other options describe broader concepts or organizations (social control, agencies, government-sponsored agencies) and do not denote the court’s determination about a defendant’s guilt or innocence.
