Federal crimes are usually very serious and are tried in federal courts under special federal rules of procedure.
Some examples of federal crimes include,Complex white collar crime investigations and prosecutions, SEC investigations, Drug Conspiracy, Healthcare Fraud, Tax Fraud and Evasion, and Computer Related Crimes, to name a few.
If the crime happens in one state, it is typically a state crime, unless it is an expressly named federal crime. But if a crime occurs throughout many states, or crosses state lines, or occurs on or to federal property it often becomes a federal crime.
State crimes are typically all conduct that violates state laws, such as murder, sexual assault, burglary, fraud, possession, and other areas where conduct is completely encompassed in the state.
In state court, jurisdiction is held by the city and or county where the crime occurred.
