Please consult the table of contents beginning on Page v for a detailed listing of the crimes listed in each of the two sections. The sentencing scheme for felonies, misdemeanors, petty offenses, and traffic infractions is listed at the beginning of each of those sections in the first part of this compilation. The crimes in the second part of the compilation are listed by C.R.S. title. The crimes in Title 18 are further divided into categories such as: Offenses Against Persons, Offenses Against Property, etc. To help locate a particular classification of offense in the first part of the compilation, the bottom of each page is identified with an abbreviation of the classification. For example, 1Fis used for class 1 felonies, 1M for class 1 misdemeanors, and ATI for class A traffic infractions. This guide is updated annually.
