week 3 thursday quiz types of crimes
can you explain what are the 2 different types of crimes including some examples

Explanation:

One common classification divides crimes into felonies and misdemeanors (or another common split: violent crimes and property crimes). Here’s an explanation of the felony - misdemeanor split:

• Felonies: Serious crimes punishable by imprisonment for over a year (or death). Examples: Murder (killing another person), Robbery (taking property by force/threat), Burglary (unlawful entry to commit a felony, like stealing in a home).
• Misdemeanors: Less serious, punishable by fines or short jail time (under a year). Examples: Petty theft (stealing low - value items), Simple assault (minor physical harm without intent to kill), Traffic violations (like speeding).

(If using violent vs. property crimes:

• Violent crimes: Involve harm/threat to people. Examples: Homicide, Assault, Rape.
• Property crimes: Involve taking/damaging property. Examples: Theft, Arson, Vandalism.)
