federal offenses
Crimes against nation
Federal offenses are crimes that violate United States federal law rather than state or local law.
They include offenses on federal property, crimes crossing state lines, and matters of national concern: tax evasion, mail fraud, drug trafficking, counterfeiting, bank robbery, and immigration violations.
Federal offenses are prosecuted in federal courts and typically carry harsher penalties than their state equivalents.
