Civil Versus Criminal Actions
Write a 2- to 3-page paper using APA format addressing the following:
Describe the differences between civil and criminal actions. This can also be explained as the distinction between crimes and torts. Specifically, address the goals and objectives of a civil case versus a criminal case, the differences in remedies and outcomes sought, how the commencement of each action differs, and how the players in each system differ. There are four distinct points to be addressed in this part of the paper.
Jon hated Ponch. Jon found Ponch, grabbed a nearby shovel, and yelled at Ponch “I hate you!” Ponch looked at Jon sand said, “You’re so weak, I bet you can’t even pick up that shovel!” Jon picked up the shovel, swung it at Ponch, hitting Ponch and knocking him to the ground. Should the prosecutor charge Jon with criminal assault and battery? Why or why not? How should the crime be classified?
