Hurt more, but much less humiliation. Anyway, it wasn't Moody anyway, 
which means he (Crouch Jr.) definitely wasn't the right authority to 
administer that punishment and moreover, wasn't even giving a "proper" 
punishment.

Also, about the wand-breaking, I think more than just Hagrid's wand was 
broken over the history of the wizarding world.
