 Felony:
The term felony is
used for very serious crimes, whereas misdemeanors are considered
to be less serious offenses. It means a crime
against the government. It is principally used in criminal law
in the United States legal system. The
distinction between a felony and misdemeanor has been abolished
by some common law jurisdictions (e.g. Crimes Act
1958 (Vic., Australia) s. 332B(1), Crimes Act 1900 (NSW., Australia)
s. 580E(1)); other jurisdictions maintain the distinction,
notably those of the United States. Those jurisdictions which
have abolished the distinction generally adopt some other classification,
e.g. in Canada, Australia, the Republic of Ireland and the
United Kingdom the crimes are divided into summary offences
and indictable offences. A felon is a person responsible for
committing a felony, which is generally a social stigma.
