Generally speaking, in the US, the local or state prosecutor decides if an alleged attacker will be charged with a crime. If there is enough evidence, in the mind of a prosecutor, then legal proceedings will begin. In some cases, however, the prosecutor will have a Grand Jury decide to either follow the prosecutor's recommendation, or not to.

How is the decision made by the jury in a civil case different from the decision made in a criminal case?

In a civil case, the jury decides whether the defendant is liable or not liable for the alleged harm or wrongdoing. In a criminal case, the jury decides whether the defendant is guilty or not guilty of committing a crime. The standard of proof is higher in a criminal case (beyond a reasonable doubt) compared to a civil case (preponderance of the evidence).
