They define their rights and responsibilities as citizens. These are the elements of substantive law in both criminal and civil law.

Civil law is different from criminal law in that it relates to interactions between citizens. Instead of fighting crime, civil law deals with tort or activities that are not necessarily illegal, but can prove destructive in some way. For example, if you sue a neighbour to cut the tree and allowing it to land on the house, which dealt with the case of tort civil, not criminal fight against crime.
