What are Part II offenses? How do they differ from Part I offenses?

What will be an ideal response?


Answers will vary. Part II offenses are all crimes recorded by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) that do not fall into the category of Part I offenses. While Part I offenses are almost always felonies, Part II offenses include crimes that may be classified as misdemeanors. Of the nineteen categories that make up Part II offenses, the most common are drug abuse violations, simple assaults, driving under the influence, and disorderly conduct. Information gathered on Part I offenses reflects those offenses "known," or reported to the FBI by local agencies. Part II offenses, in contrast, are measured only by arrest data.
