I'm out of my depth here: isn't there an important qualitative difference between “crimes” and other ways of breaking the law, such as offences and felonies?

To me, intuitively, an unwanted kiss belongs in the latter categories.

Honest question: what are the mildest crimes, and the worst offences (under, say, US/UK/Spanish law)? I mean, as points of reference.
