Overview of Federal Crimes
Federal crimes are offenses that violate U.S. federal laws rather than state laws. Unlike state crimes, which are prosecuted under state statutes and typically involve activities confined within that state, federal crimes often encompass activities that cross state lines, involve federal property, or affect federal interests.
The penalties for federal crimes tend to be more severe, reflecting the broader scope and higher stakes involved. Federal trials are conducted in federal courts, and U.S. Attorneys prosecute the crimes.
Federal crimes cover a broad spectrum of activities, including but not limited to:
- Drug trafficking: Involves the distribution, sale, and transportation of illegal drugs across state or national borders.
- Racketeering (RICO): Engaging in organized crime activities such as extortion, fraud, and bribery.
- Bank fraud: Knowingly executing a scheme to defraud a financial institution.
- Tax evasion: Deliberately underreporting or not paying taxes owed.
- Mail and wire fraud: Using mail or electronic communications to carry out fraudulent schemes.
- Counterfeiting: Producing or distributing fake currency, documents, or goods.
- Money laundering: Concealing the origins of illegally obtained money to make it appear legitimate.
- Cybercrime: Includes hacking, identity theft, and distributing malware.
- Human trafficking: Exploiting individuals for labor or sex through coercion, fraud, or force.
- White collar crimes: These include embezzlement, insider trading, and corporate fraud.
- Child exploitation: Involves the production, distribution, and possession of child pornography.
- Terrorism: Engaging in acts intended to cause mass harm or to coerce governments.
- Violence on federal property: Committing acts of violence in national parks, federal buildings, or reservations.
