You must have something specific in mind to say that there are 3 ways. You should re-post to try to get the best answer.

A guess to what you are looking for is that parents can be civilly liable for their children's criminal acts (and have to pay restitution.)

A criminally accused person can be financially liable if he participates with others in such acts as criminal mischief (damaging property.) This liability is both several & joint (meaning you owe & if your co-defendants don't pay their share, you have to make it up.)

You can be held criminally liable for the acts of another if you help in any way. For example, if you encourage someone to commit a criminal mischief & he does, you have aided & abetted. You can be held criminally liable if you drive the get away car for a robbery & someone is shot (or not - determines whether it is capitual murder or just aggravated robbery - if a deadly weapon was used.)

That's about the best I can do without additional information.

Good luck.

Respectfully, you would need to repost with enough facts for us to be able to evaluate what the criminal liability would pertain to. Good luck.
