What Types of Crime are Classified as Federal Criminal Offenses?
Generally speaking, many offenses which would be prosecuted by state law enforcement on the state are charged as a federal offenses when they take place on federal property. Federal crimes also include offenses which involve interstate commerce and activity taking place in more than one state. Law enforcement agencies including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”), the Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”), the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (“ATF”) and the United States Marshalls Service investigate federal offences.
As federal law enforcement agencies of the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) they have extensive resources for investigating and prosecuting cases. Many federal criminal offenses carry minimum mandatory prison sentences and thousands of dollars in fines. The number of federal crimes is virtually beyond count: the DOJ spent two years attempting to list them all and found approximately 3,000.
