Treason is considered serious because it is a crime against the well-being of a society as a whole. For instance, in a monarchy, betraying the king would be considered treason, because the king IS the government, and a threat to his well-being threatens the nation as it is. In a democracy, betraying a politician would not likely be treason, but betraying the nation as a whole, for instance by leaking military secrets for personal financial benefit, would be. By committing treason, a person willingly commits a crime against a nation and all its people, which is why it is considered so serious.

∙ 12y agobecause treason against non-monarchy is against the state ,which usually means someone has tried to take away freedoms ,rob money from the entire country.
treason against monarchy is bad because it means somebody has tried to overthrow or assassinate the monarchy(personally i don't see why that's bad because they don't really do much, but to some people its like trying to kill the pope or another important figure)

What is the most serious crime in England?
Since the theoretical mandatory death penalty was abolished for treason and piracy in 1998, then murder is arguably the most serious crime in English law since it has the highest penalty, i.e. a mandatory life sentence (usually with the possibility of parole though). In contrast, all other comparable serious crimes (including treason), only have a maximum life sentence - it is not mandatory. However, unless I am mistaken, there is still a law that bars bail to those charged with treason, whilst those charged with murder could get bail (though that's rare). Also, it's a crime not to report to the authorities an act of treason or terrorist offences, but there's no offence relating to not reporting (non-political) murders.

Are murder and aggravated assault are both considered violent crime offenses?
Yes. Both crimes are felonies. The term "aggravated" added to an assault charge in most jurisdictions strictly implies that the assault was with the intent to cause serious bodily harm. This is to distinguish it from simply "assault", as individuals charged with assault did not intend serious harm. Because the intent to cause serious bodily harm is specifically stated in the statute, it is considered a violent crime.Added: These are examples of types of crime that are considered to be "Crimes Of Moral Turpitude."
