What is the difference between Class A and Class B misdemeanor?

Answer 1

That depends entirely upon the state in which you reside. Some states have Class 1 and Class 2, others don't have 'classes' at all. Typically the classifications are used to differentiate the level of punishment associated with the crime, with A being higher than B. For example, in Illinois, a Class A misdemeanor carries up to 364 days in jail and a fine of up to $2500. A Class B carries up to 180 days in jail and a fine of up to $1500, and a Class C up to 30 days in jail and up to $1000.00. Please see the related link below.

Answer 2

A, B, and C are simply ways of categorizing the seriousness of a crime and corresponding punishment guidelines. The specifics of each class vary from state to state. For instance stealing $0 -$10 could be a class C misdemeanor with restitution and/or 0 - 7 days of jail time as a potential punishement. Meanwhile, stealing $10.01 - $50 is a class B misdemeanor with restitution and/or 8 - 180 days of jail time as a potential punishment.

Answer 3

Your Legislature has obviously divided felony offenses into the category of 'serious' offenses (Class A felonies) and 'less serious' (Class B felonies). The mandated jail sentence for either still runs more than one year in prison, and you are still a convicted felon when you are released.

Answer 4

A Class "A" misdemeanor is punishable by imprisonment of up to one year. A Class "B" misdemeanor is punishable by imprisonment of up to six months.

Answer 5

Classes of both misdemeanors and felonies all derive from the severity of the offense. In Wisconsin we go from a class A all the way down to a class H.

Answer 6

A Class A misdemeanor can include incarceration for not more than 1 year with fines up $2,500. A Class B misdemeanor can include jail for not more than 6 months with a fine up to $1,000.

Answer 7

A class A felony is more serious than a class B felony.
