What Is The Difference Between Crime, Felony, and Misdemeanor?

Sometimes words like “Crime”, “Felony”, and “Misdemeanor” can confuse us. To illustrate this, let us look at the difference between three different words, which can help us to have a clear idea of ​​each word. So here are the following:

Felony is a crime of a serious nature and a felony can lead to long term fines and imprisonment. A felony can be either a non-violent or violent type. Punishment for a felony may vary depending on the law of the area. Child abuse, rape, money laundering, attempted murder, are also some examples of felony.
