The difference between civil public prosecution and criminal private prosecution

The civil indictment is prepared by the People's Procuratorate, and the criminal private prosecution is written by the criminal private prosecutor himself. The former is more serious and the latter is less severe.

A civil complaint refers to a legal document submitted to the People's Court by citizens, legal persons or other organizations who believe that their legitimate rights and interests have been infringed upon, or have disputes with others and need to confirm their rights, requesting the People's Court to make a judgment in accordance with the law. .

Criminal private prosecution means that in private prosecution cases stipulated by law, the victim or his agent directly submits a written request to the people's court to prosecute the criminal defendant and request the court to pursue his criminal liability. Its scope of use is: only used for handling after notification and other minor criminal cases that do not require investigation and are handled directly by the People's Court.
