Civil wrongs involve private disputes where an individual plaintiff sues a wrongdoer for compensation, whereas criminal wrongs involve public disputes where the state takes action through police and punishes an offender for violating public rights and duties. Civil wrongs compensate plaintiffs for violations of private rights, while criminal wrongs impose fines payable to the state for actions that affect society. Intention is generally irrelevant for civil wrongs but always relevant for determining criminal wrongs.
