Felony - is a crime that usually involves violence. This punishment is usually 1 or more years in prison or by death.

Felonies are more of a punishment than misdemeanors are. For example a felony you can kill someone and got to jail are get killed. A misdeameanor for example is just like getting banned or suspended from something.
