A felony is the most serious type of criminal offense. A felony is defined as a crime that is severe enough to be punishable by sentences ranging from imprisonment for more than a year, to life imprisonment without parole, and even death. In comparison, a misdemeanor is a lesser offense, punishable by imprisonment for up to a year. One who commits a felony is a felon; someone convicted of a felony is known as a convicted felon or convict. While felonies are often violent offenses, and include major crimes such as murder, rape, aggravated assault or kidnapping, they can also include white-collar crimes like tax evasion and securities fraud.
