A misdemeanor (American English, spelled misdemeanour elsewhere) refers to a low-level criminal act or violation of law in various countries around the world, particularly in the United States.

Misdemeanor convictions typically result in small monetary fines, community service, or less than a year of imprisonment. (Wikipedia)
