What Are Non-Violent Felonies
“List crimes that are not considered violent felonies”
Summary
Crimes that are not classified as violent felonies include property offenses such as burglary, larceny‑theft and motor‑vehicle theft; drug‑related offenses including possession, manufacturing, distribution and trafficking of controlled substances; and white‑collar crimes such as fraud, embezzlement, tax evasion, money‑laundering, securities fraud and identity theft. These offenses lack an element of force or threat of physical injury and therefore fall outside the federal definition of a violent felony.
