Civil law aims to punish the wrongdoer and deter others, while criminal law aims to resolve disputes between private parties. Civil law seeks to compensate the victim for a civil wrong, whereas criminal law focuses on punishing the offender to protect society. Civil law requires proof beyond a reasonable doubt, whereas criminal law requires proof on a balance of probabilities. Civil law handles disputes exclusively involving contract breaches, while criminal law handles all other societal wrongs.
