• A kidnapping case involving transport of a victim across state lines
• White collar crimes such as embezzlement, fraud and counterfeiting involving activity that crosses state lines either physically or virtually (through computer-based transactions)
• Any criminal activity occurring on federal land, such as in a national park

Other federal crime cases involve crimes that violate federal laws; namely:

• Bankruptcy laws
• Intellectual property laws: copyright, patent or trademark laws
• Maritime law

Other federal crimes include bank robbery, hate crimes, smuggling of immigrants and human trafficking across state lines.

These guidelines provide a road map of where a particular offense fits based on criminal history and the nature of the offense.
