*Felonies (serious crimes) *Misdemeanors (relatively minor crimes) *Offenses (a violation of the criminal law) *Treason and espionage ("a U.S. citizen's actions to help a foreign government overthrow, make war against, or serioiusly injure the United States" (Schmalleger, 2011, p. 121) *Inchoate offenses (the attempt to commit a crime, which occurs when an offender is unable to complete a crime)
