About Different Types of Crimes

It is best to have a skilled defense attorney when so much is a stake for a person charged with committing a crime. There are different types of crimes that can be charged as misdemeanor or felony offenses, depending on the circumstances of the arrest. Property crimes include fraud, theft, robbery, arson, and burglary. Personal offenses that carry specific and harsh penalties can include assault and battery, rape, sexual abuse, and kidnapping.

Manslaughter and murder are the most serious criminal offenses due to the taking of the life of another human being. When the victim is a law enforcement officer, the penalties are increased. Factors that can influence a judge at sentencing might consist of the existence of prior criminal convictions, the involvement of minors, and the use of weapons or deadly force during the commission of a crime.

All criminal charges are serious and the penalties can include the following:

• Imprisonment and probation
• Fines and costs
• Court mandated counseling and programs
