Answer 2

Criminal cases deals with behavior that is or can be construed as an offense against the public, society, or the state—even if the immediate victim is an individual, whereas Civil cases deals with behavior that constitutes an injury to an individual or other private party, such as a corporation. Examples of criminal cases are murder, assault, theft,and drunken driving, whereas examples of civil cases are defamation (including libel and slander), breach of contract, negligence resulting in injury or death, and property damage.

Criminal law and civil law differ with respect to how cases are initiated, how cases are decided, what kinds of punishment or penalty may be imposed, what standards of proof must be met, and what legal protections may be available to the defendant.

In criminal cases, for example, only the government may initiate a case; cases are almost always decided by a jury; punishment for serious charges often consists of imprisonment but may also include a fine paid to the government; to secure conviction, the prosecution must establish the guilt of the defendant "beyond a reasonable doubt"; and defendants are protected against conduct by police or prosecutors that violates their constitutional rights.

In civil cases, by contrast, cases are initiated by a private party; cases are usually decided by a judge; punishment almost always consists of a monetary award and never consists of imprisonment; to prevail, the plaintiff must establish the defendant's liability only according to the "preponderance of evidence"; and defendants are not entitled to the same legal protections as are the criminally accused.
