Articles: Prosecuting the criminals lies outside the domain of the police.
Hello,
I would like to ask about one sentence:
Prosecuting the criminals lies outside the domain of the police.
1) Can you think of an example when you would use the before criminals in such a sentence? Perhaps in the meaning this while pointing at some group of criminals?
2) Am I right that normally, as a general statement, one would say criminals with a zero article?

It seems that my learning has started to give good results:) Especially with such a difficult topic as articles. Any other part of grammar was easier for me...

Reegis1) Can you think of an example when you would use the before criminals in such a sentence? Perhaps in the meaning this while pointing at some group of criminals?Yes, particular criminals. The word "domain" is a strange choice there. Role or responsibility would be more natural, logical choices.
