章节摘录

　　Criminal law refers to that body of the law that deals with conduct considered so harmful to society as a whole that it is prohibited by statute， prosecuted and punished by the government. In a criminal case， the state， through a prosecutor， initiates the suit， while in a civil case the victim brings the suit. Persons convicted of a crime may be incarcerated， fined， or both. However， persons found liable in a civil case may only have to give up property or pay money， but are not incarcerated. 　　A "crime" is any act or omission （of an act） in violation of a public law forbidding or commanding it. Though there are some common law crimes， most crimes in the United States are established by local， state， and federal governments. Criminal laws vary significantly from state to state. There is， however， a Model Penal Code （MPC） which serves as a good starting place to gain an understanding of the basic structure of criminal liability.
