I think that minor crime could be something related to stealing or scamming people without hurting them physically, something that doesn't involve killing another human. Its punishment should be less severe than that of major crime. I believe that major crime includes killing another person or physically hurting them. So I think that the major difference between them is the nature of the crime and the punishment.
