The Difference Between A State And Federal Offense
Criminal activity can violate the criminal laws as defined by the state of New Jersey. But certain crimes can also violate federal laws. For example, if the criminal activity crossed state lines or used the U.S. postal service or cyberspace to commit the crime, it can be charged as a federal crime. If a federal agency, like the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) or the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) was involved with the investigation of the criminal activity, then the crime can be charged under the U.S. District courts and prosecuted as a federal crime. Federal crimes require that sentences be served in any of the federal institutions that exist across the country and follow strict sentencing guidelines that can require steep fines and long periods of incarceration.
