An act can be a civil wrong as well as a criminal wrong. For example, OJ Simpson was tried for murder, a criminal law violation. Had he been found guilty, he would have been sentenced (probably to jail) by the state.
The family of the alleged victim also filed a civil suitagainst him for wrongful death, asserting that he had deprived the victim of life. The family sought monetary damages. Wrongfully causing the death of another is a civil tort.
