There has been broad conjecture that the majority crimes as committed by minorities against whites in the United States. On the other hand, the Bureau of Justice Statistics has documented more than a few crimes that make this assumption void. For example, seventy-five percent of white crime victims are victimized by whites, and eighty-five percent of black victims are victimized by blacks.

In most cases, crimes, including treason, that are mala in se are called felonies and are punished more severely than those that are mala prohibita, most of the latter declining into the category of misdemeanors............
