Classification of offenses

(1) In the USA the decision of how a crime should be classified rests with the individual jurisdiction. Each state has developed its own body of criminal law and consequently determines its own penalties for the different crimes. Thus, the criminal law of a given state defines and grades offenses, sets levels of punishment, and classifies crimes into different categories.

(2) The most common classification is the division between felonies and misdemeanors. This distinction is based on primarily on the degree of seriousness of the crime: a felony is a serious offense

(3) In the United States today felonies include serious crimes against the person such as homicide, robbery and rape or crimes against property, such as burglary or larceny. felony is punished by death penalty or imprisonment in a state or federal penitentiary (prison for felons) for more than one year. Misdemeanors include petty larceny, assault and battery, the unlawful possession of drugs, disturbing the peace and or reckless driving. A misdemeanor is punishable by a fine or imprisonment in the county jail (local jail for minor offenders) or both, depending upon state law.

(4) The felony-misdemeanor classification has a direct effect on the offender charged with the crime. A person convicted of a felony may be barred from certain fields of employment or from entering some professional fields of study, such as law or medicine. A person with a felony offenders status might be denied the right to hold public office, vote or serve on a jury.

(5) Whether the offender is charged with a felony or a misdemeanor also makes a difference at the time of arrest. Normally the law of arrest requires that if the crime a misdemeanor and has not been committed in the presence of a police officer, the officer cannot make an arrest. This is known as the in- presence requirement. In contrast, an arrest for a felony may be made regardless of whether the crime was committed in the officers presence, as long as the officer has reasonable grounds to believe that the person has committed the felony.

(6) Another important effect of this classification is that a courts jurisdiction often depends on whether a crime is considered a felony or a misdemeanor. A person charged with a felony must be tried by a court that has jurisdiction over this type of offenses. Some states prosecute felonies only on indictment. This means that a person accused of a felony ordinarily has a legal right to a preliminary hearing and presentment of the charges by indictment of a grand jury or information.

(7) In addition to serious felony crimes and less serious offenses labeled misdemeanors, some jurisdictions also have a third category of least serious offenses called violations. These violations, ordinarily of town, city or county ordinances are regulatory offenses that may not require criminal intent. Examples include health sanitary violations, unlawful assembly, public disturbances, and traffic violations. Violations are usually punished by a fine or a short jail term.
