Notice: This list should be used only as a guide in interpreting criminal record information. Some jurisdictions may interpret some of the terms contained herein differently. Although the FBI does publish a standard list, many abbreviations are the result of local court "ingenuity."  This list of offense abbreviations should not be considered to be all-inclusive nor is it intended to constitute legal advice.  It is especially important to consult legal counsel when making difficult decisions based on court records.
