Перевод текста HOW DO CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LAWS DIFFER?
​When the private legal rights of an individual are violated, the matter is governed by civil law. It applies whenever one person has a right to sue another person. An example of such a situation is when a tenant fails to pay the rent. The police will not investigate civil conflicts.
​When a person violates certain duties to society and disturbs public peace and order, the violation is governed by criminal law. The government, acting in the name of all people, investigates, prosecutes, and tries to fine or imprison the alleged wrongdoer.
​Generally, when a crime occurs, private rights of the individual victim are violated at the same time. Thus, the civil law may also apply. The victim of the crime may, therefore, sue the wrongdoer but seldom does because it is usually difficult to collect damages from criminals.
