Differences between a crime and a tort
In my country, the main differences between a crime and a tort consist in :
the kind of penalty: whereas civil law generally punishes a tort with a fine and gives to the injured party the possibility to sue for damages, criminal law punishes also with the privation of freedom putting the criminal in prison. In my country the capital punishment is forbidden even tough there’s the life imprisonment (this one is forbidden for minors)
Furthermore, the main aim of criminal law is to prevent that people commit crimes, so the States have a main role in the trial therefore when a public officer hear of a crime has the duty to start the investigations even though the victim doesn’t want to sue his perpetrator.
