The criminal cases are generally initiated by Government unlike the civil cases, in which private parties initiate the cases.

In different state courts, prosecutors are known by different names such as, County Attorney, Prosecuting Attorney, County Prosecutor, State\'s Attorney, City Prosecutor, City Attorney, and many more.

Less serious offenses known as misdemeanors are normally punishable by a fine like some traffic violations, petty theft, or possession of a small amount of marijuana, and felonies and serious offenses warrant imprisonment of one or more years, such as rape, grand theft, assault and battery, assault with a deadly weapon, or homicide/murder.
