Why?
A crime is the most serious type of offence: murder, rape, armed robbery, terrorism… It is tried by the cour d’assises or the cour criminelle (criminal courts) and can be punished by anything from 15 years in prison to life imprisonment. Theft and tax fraud are délits (intermediate offences); making noise at night (tapage nocturne) is a contravention (petty offence).
