Answer to Question 1

FELONY  the most serious level of criminal acts, which carry a minimum of a one-year prison sentence for anyone convicted. Substantial fines may also be levied to convicted felons. Some examples of felony crimes include: rape, murder, aggravated assault, and many crimes against children.

MISDEMEANOR  a criminal act of moderate severity that may result in a jail sentence of up to one year, and/or a substantial fine. Many states establish maximum fine limits for misdemeanor convictions. For example, the state of Virginia has a maximum misdemeanor fine of 2500.

ORDINANCE VIOLATION  an ordinance is a law enacted by a city, local, or municipal government. Because they do not have the same legal authority as state or federal governments, the maximum penalty for an ordinance violation is a civil forfeiture (fine). It is a civil forfeiture because ordinance violations are not criminal acts. As a result municipal courts have lower standards of evidence than beyond a reasonable doubt, and convictions can be had with a preponderance of evidence.

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved. Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.
