Misdemeanor
A
misdemeanor
(
American English
) or
misdemeanour
(British English) is any "lesser"
criminal
act in some
common law
legal systems. Misdemeanors are generally
punished
less severely than
felonies
, but theoretically more so than administrative
infractions
(also known as minor, petty, or
summary offences
) and
regulatory offences
. Many misdemeanors are punished with monetary fines.
