Federal criminal statutes apply to offenses that violate Federal Laws, which are enacted by Congress and can be prosecuted in federal courts. These typically involve crimes that cross state lines, involve federal property, or violate federal regulations. State criminal statutes apply to offenses that violate state laws and are prosecuted in state courts, covering a wide range of local issues. Each jurisdiction operates independently, but federal law can supersede state law in certain cases due to the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution.
