Types of Crimes

The field of criminal law divides crimes into several categories. The category of crime dictates the type of criminal act, the mental state, and the degree of punishment. Three broad categories of crimes are crimes against the person, crimes against property, and white-collar crimes.

The categories of crimes are further divided by the designated punishment for the crime. The categories of punishment are felony, misdemeanor, and petty misdemeanor. Each represents a different category of punishment.

Felonies are the most serious crimes. A felony is any crime that is punishable by imprisonment for more than one year. The seriousness of a felony crime is indicated by the possible sentence for the offense.

Some felonies are capital crimes – crimes that are punishable by the death penalty. Other felonies are punishable by sentences up to life imprisonment, up to ten years' imprisonment, and up to five years' imprisonment.

Crimes that are punishable by incarceration of one year or less are misdemeanors. Misdemeanors are regarded as less serious offenses that do not require time in prison – nearly all misdemeanor sentences are served in a county or local jail. In many states, any crime that is not specifically categorized as a felony is treated as a misdemeanor.

Petty misdemeanors are offenses that do not require incarceration. These offenses are usually punishable by a fine. Petty misdemeanors are often administrative offenses, such as failure to acquire a necessary permit. Since petty misdemeanors do not require incarceration, there is no right to a jury trial for these offenses.

VII. Прочитайте текст “ Types of Crimes” и с помощью словаря переведите письменно следующие слова и выражения:

How crimes are classified?

Crimes may be classified in different ways. One type of classification is given below.

Crimes against persons

Crimes against a person are the most serious crimes because the offense involves physical harm to another person. Crimes against a person are also called violent crimes for this reason. The great majority of such crimes are felonies, for example: murder, robbery, sexual assault, kidnapping, rape.

Crimes against property

Crimes against property do not usually involve force or fear of harm. The criminal act is the act of damaging or attempting to gain the property of another. Crimes that damage the property of another include trespass, vandalism, and arson. Crimes that attempt to gain the property of another are burglary, larceny, theft, and forgery.

Crimes that damage the property of another may involve violent acts, but because there is no physical injury to a person, they are not classified with other violent crimes. The intent of these crimes is the damage to property, even if harm to a person occurs.

White-collar Crimes

White-collar crimes are a special category of crimes against property. These crimes are usually business-oriented. Most white-collar crimes involve the use of a business position or occupation to commit the crime. Many, but not all, are in furtherance of some business interest. This does not mean that the offender does not receive personal gain, but personal gain is seldom the primary motive for these crimes. Such crimes includes embezzlement, bribery, and wire and mail fraud. White-collar crimes are typically complex and difficult to prove.
