Federal Crimes of Violence
There are many federal crimes of violence that may include but not be limited to those listed above. In addition to crimes commonly considered violent (murder, rape, kidnapping, etc), the U.S. Congress and the federal courts define any “child pornography” or “sexual exploitation of a child” as violent crimes — even simple possession of child pornography because a child is harmed at the time the pornography was created.
