A misdemeanor is a less serious crime that is not inherently evil but prohibited by society, and is punishable by fines or imprisonment for one year or less. The other options are not applicable to this definition – an indictable offence is a serious offense that carries a penalty of imprisonment for two years or more, a violation is a minor offense often punishable by a fine, and a felony is a serious crime punishable by imprisonment for longer than one year.
