    Types of Violent Crimes

    Although, Florida has several offenses considered crimes of violence. Not to mention, these offenses usually involve the use or threat of violence on a victim. In all honesty, the definition of violent crimes can be very broad. For example, several criminal actions categorized as such include:

    • Kidnapping

As well as, whether the offender has a previous criminal conviction.
