Home›Offenses›Offense Grade›Indictable OffenceFoundational ConceptIndictable OffenceCrime TypologiesReference and ClassificationDevelopingIn many common law jurisdictions, an indictable offence is an offence which can only be tried on an indictment after a preliminary hearing to determine whether there is a prima facie case to answer or by a grand jury, in contrast to a summary offence. The cited article names England and Wales, Ireland, Canada, Hong Kong, India, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia and Singapore among the jurisdictions, says a similar concept in the United States is known as a felony, which for federal crimes also requires an indictment, and says that in Scotland the procurator fiscal will commence solemn proceedings for serious crimes to be prosecuted on indictment before a jury. Offenses recorded in the atlas as serious or indictable are grouped under this concept.FactsIndictable OffenceConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsDomainWell-attestedOffense classification 1Indictable OffenceFilter Results392 entriesOffense CategoryAllAntitrust, Competition and Market Restraint Offenses (4)Armed Robbery of Banks, Trains, Mail and Ships (7)Assassination, Political and Extrajudicial Killing (5)Assault, Battery and Physical Attacks (5)Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia (1)Banditry, Raiding and Highway Robbery (6)Banking, Money Laundering and Financial Institution Fraud (12)Burglary, Trespass and Squatting (1)Child Abduction and Child Trading (6)Child Abuse, Neglect and Endangerment (3)Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation (7)Classes of Offense by Seriousness and Court (2)Conspiracy, Attempt and Complicity (4)Consumer, Retail and Confidence Fraud (9)Corporate, Accounting and Occupational Fraud (10)Counterfeiting and Product Fraud (4)Dangerous Driving and Rage Offenses (1)Descriptive Crime Categories (1)Discrimination and Deprivation of Civil Rights (2)Domestic, Intimate Partner and Honor-Based Violence (6)Drug Possession and Paraphernalia (1)Drug Production and Precursors (4)Drug Trafficking, Smuggling and Distribution (12)Electoral Fraud and Corruption (5)Environmental Crime in General (1)Escape, Resistance and Failure to Comply (1)Extortion and Protection Rackets (2)Fraud Law: General Doctrine and Historical Deception Offenses (4)Government Program, Tax and Procurement Fraud (7)Hacking, Intrusion and Data Breach (3)Harmful Practices on the Body (1)Home Invasion, Forcible Entry and Arson (3)Homicide, Murder and Planned Killing (8)Identity and Document Fraud (2)Illegal Fishing and Whaling (1)Image-Based and Sexual Online Abuse (1)Insurance Fraud (1)Interception, Spoofing and Redirection Attacks (4)Kidnapping, Hostage-Taking and Unlawful Confinement (3)Killing by Particular Weapon or Method (4)Killing of Family Members, Infants and the Unborn (14)Maiming, Poisoning and Harm by Particular Means (5)Malware, Ransomware and Botnets (5)Manslaughter and Negligent Killing (7)Mass and Serial Killing (5)Military Discipline Offenses (3)Misconduct in Public and Judicial Office (2)Morality-Based and Taboo Sexual Offenses (3)Obstruction and Helping Offenders (1)Offenses Concerning Particular Drugs (1)Online Fraud and Payment Card Crime (4)Online Harassment and Doxxing (1)Perjury, False Statements and False Reports (3)Plunder, Grave Robbery and Theft of Cultural Property (3)Poaching, Wildlife Trafficking and Harm to Animals (2)Pollution and Discharge Offenses (1)Prescription Drug Diversion and Fraud (1)Prostitution, Pimping and Brothel-Keeping (1)Public Corruption and Bribery (11)Public Safety and State Security Law: General Doctrine and Concepts (4)Racketeering, Loan Sharking and Organized Financial Crime (2)Ransom Kidnapping and Forced Taking of Persons (7)Rape and Sexual Assault (8)Receiving Stolen Goods, Fencing and Smuggling (1)Riot, Affray and Breach of the Peace (1)Securities, Investment and Market Manipulation Fraud (17)Sexual Slavery, Sex Trafficking and Forced Sexual Exploitation (6)Slavery, Forced Labor and Trade in Persons (9)Smuggling and Human Smuggling (2)Sports and Gaming Corruption (3)Stalking, Harassment and Intimidation (2)State Cyber Operations and Espionage (3)Street Robbery, Mugging and Snatch Theft (3)Tampering with Witnesses, Jurors and Evidence (5)Terrorism Offenses (16)Theft, Larceny and Shoplifting (1)Treason, Sedition and Offenses Against the State (13)Vehicle Theft and Vehicle Identity Crime (1)Violence and Violent Crime in General (2)War Crimes, Crimes Against Humanity and Atrocity Law (36)Weapons, Arms and Conflict-Resource Trafficking (8)JurisdictionAllAfrica (7)Asia (22)Australia (3)Australia (14)Canada (1)England (5)Europe (49)Germany (1)Hong Kong (1)India (2)Ireland (2)Latin America (2)North America (64)Scotland (2)Sistan (1)South America (5)United Kingdom (5)United States (14)Wales (2)West Africa (1)Notable ExampleAllAmanda Knox Case (1)Atlanta Murders of 1979 to 1981 (2)Beltway Snipers Case (2)BTK Case (2)Central Park Jogger Case (1)Colin Pitchfork Case (2)Crippen Case (1)Francisca Rojas Case (1)Golden State Killer Case (3)Green River Killer Case (2)Jack the Ripper Murders (1)Lindbergh Kidnapping (2)Night Stalker Case (2)O.
