How does the burden of proof differ in civil versus criminal cases?

In civil cases, the burden of proof is typically on the plaintiff, who must prove their case by a preponderance of the evidence, meaning it is more likely than not that their claims are true. In criminal cases, the burden of proof is on the prosecution, who must prove the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, which is a higher standard of proof than in civil cases.
