These are merely felony crimes...serious crimes...as opposed to misdeameanors...
I really don't think social impact has anything to do with it in English...

This seems to say it, though it might not be a precise criminological term.

Based on Jane\'s comment, some options might be \"high-impact felonies\", \"high social impact felonies\", or the like. It seems to me that \"felony\" or \"felony crime\" by itself is a purely legal term, while the Spanish phrase has a sociological element. For example, insider stock trading would be a felony crime but might not be a \"delito de mayor connotación social\" as intended here. On the other hand, as I mentioned in my response below, \"felony\" alone might be perfectly adequate in the greater context.

You may be right. The word "felony" by itself could be sufficient, but doesn't seem to quite capture the emphasis of the Spanish phrase.

Henry Hinds
: No, I don't agree with Jane on this one, I think you've got it right. A felony is just any serious crime and here it emphasizes an impact on society which is not necessarily the same thing.

Comment: "I'm not sure how to add a note, so I will put it here. I have found several internet sources listing this same basic group of crimes as "index crimes""
