In general, a federal crime involves a national issue. Drug trafficking, federal tax fraud, kidnapping across state lines, mail fraud, counterfeiting, and crimes that take place on federal property may all be prosecuted as federal crimes. Any crime that occurs on federal land or involves federal officers will likely be tried as a federal crime.
