Protect state-owned property and property collectively owned by working people, and protect property privately owned by citizens.
Details are as follows:
1, clearly defined as a criminal act, convicted and punished according to law; If it is not clearly defined as a criminal act, it shall not be convicted and punished;
2. Protect citizens' personal rights, democratic rights and other rights, maintain social and economic order and ensure the smooth progress of socialist construction;
3. Knowing that one's actions will have harmful consequences to society, and hoping or letting such consequences happen, which constitutes a crime, is a deliberate crime.
The main differences between illegality and crime are as follows:
(1) The scope of infringement is wider, including criminal infringement, administrative infringement and civil infringement. Crime is an integral part of infringement, and the scope is only about criminal infringement;
(2) breaking the law is a violation of laws and regulations, while crime is an act that should be subject to criminal punishment according to law;
(3) The social harmfulness of breaking the law is light and heavy, and the social harmfulness of crime is heavy.
What's the difference between criminal liability and civil liability?
1, which have different premises. The premise of criminal responsibility is criminal behavior, so criminal responsibility must be related to the criminal behavior of the perpetrator; The premise of civil liability is the violation of civil obligations, so there is an inevitable connection between civil liability and civil subject's violation of civil obligations;
2. The subject of responsibility is different. Criminal responsibility can only be borne by criminals to the state. Civil liability is the responsibility that the actor who violates civil obligations bears to the infringee, not to the society or the country, so whether to actually investigate civil liability can be transferred by the will of the infringee, and the infringer can be exempted from liability because of the consent of the infringee;
3. Subjective aspects are different. The establishment of criminal responsibility is generally based on the criminal's intention. The establishment and size of criminal responsibility are influenced by the will state and subjective malignancy of the actor. Negligent crime can only be recognized as a crime if it is clearly defined as a crime by law, and the vast majority of civil liability is caused by negligent behavior, and its scope of responsibility is generally not affected by subjective malignancy.
