    I would add also to the above useful list:

    – offense
    i.e: a serious/minor offence

    – commit (Verb)
    He committed several serious offences

    – convicted (Verb)
    It’s the third time that he’s been convicted of a drug offence.

    – petty crime = minor crime

    – Fraud (the crime of getting money by deceiving people)
    credit card fraud

    Thanks.
