If you’ve been charged, indicted, or accused of a federal or state crime, you may be unclear about what differentiates the two.

Of course, there are multitude of federal crimes in which residents of the state can be charged with independently. Any crime that is investigated by federal authorities can be tried in federal court. These can include violent crimes like murder, homicide and kidnapping, illegal drug-related crimes, or white collar crimes like corruption, fraud and embezzlement. Title 18 of the federal crimnal code is comprised of thousands of federal statutes covering a multitude of criminal offenses that define the areas that federal law enforcement agencies like the FBI, DEA, and IRS operate within.
