MISDEMEANOR

[/ˌmɪsdɪˈmiːnər/]

Definition

An infraction of the law having less dignity than a felony and constituting no claim to admittance into the best criminal society.

Additional notes

By misdemeanors he essays to climb Into the aristocracy of crime. O, woe was him!—with manner chill and grand Captains of industry refused his hand, Kings of finance denied him recognition And "railway magnates" jeered his low condition. He robbed a bank to make himself respected. They still rebuffed him, for he was detected. S.V. Hanipur
