The difference between civil and criminal liability. 1. Civil liability focuses on compensation, while criminal liability focuses on punishment. The premise of civil liability is damage, and criminal liability involves punitive liability regardless of whether there is damage or not. 2. Civil liability is mainly a property liability, while criminal liability is mainly the deprivation of personal freedom or even life. 3. The subjective elements of the constitution are different: intentionality and negligence have different impacts on criminal liability and civil liability. Because criminal liability focuses on punishment, intentionality and negligence have a great impact on criminal liability, while civil liability is mainly compensatory, but much lighter than criminal liability, and mainly depends on the damage caused to others. If significant damage is caused, there will be huge civil liability.
