The word 'misdemeanor' has legal connotations under US law, and covers a range of offences.
But there is no direct and corresponding legal equivalent under UK (English) law.
In British-English, the word 'misdemeanour' simply means: misbehaving, an offence, a misdeed, an action which is slightly bad or breaks a rule but is not actually a crime.
Offenses classified as 'misdemeanors' under US law would, under UK law, be classified as either 'summary offences' and 'indictable offences', and the actual offense is identified by more specific terms as: driving whilst disqualified, common assault, theft, burglary, trespass, criminal damage etc.
UK 'summary offences' means petty crime, and the cases are heard in a magistrates court, whereas indictable offenses are more serious and most procedings under indictment must be brought before the Crown Court, the indictment being issued by the public prosecutor.
