A quick definition of minor crime:

A minor crime, also known as a misdemeanor, is a type of crime that is less serious than a felony. It is usually punished with a fine, penalty, forfeiture, or a short-term confinement in a place like a county jail. Some examples of minor crimes include traffic violations, petty theft, and disorderly conduct. These crimes are not as severe as felonies, which are more serious crimes that can result in longer prison sentences.

A more thorough explanation:

A minor crime, also known as a misdemeanor, is a less serious offense than a felony. It is usually punishable by a fine, penalty, forfeiture, or a brief term of confinement in a place other than prison, such as a county jail.

These examples illustrate minor crimes because they are not as serious as crimes like murder or robbery. The punishment for these offenses is usually less severe and may not involve prison time.

It is important to note that the consequences of a misdemeanor conviction can still have a significant impact on a person's life, such as difficulty finding employment or housing.

@DefinitelyRobbingBanks: You failed to mention you are a successful bank robber, which certainly twists the adcom's arms to give you that A pronto, whereas an NPC applicant, such as Jeff Thug, would not benefit from such a state of affairs.
