In general terms, a crime of moral turpitude refers to a crime that encompasses a base or vile act. The case law interpreting the term "moral turpitude" is not always consistent. However, the following offenses, whether charged as felonies or misdemeanors, are of the type that have typically been found to be crimes of moral turpitude:
* crimes which involve either an intent to defraud or an intent to steal as an element;
* crimes which involve an element of intentional or reckless infliction of harm to persons or property;
* sex crimes, in which "lewd" intent is an element.
Additionally, felonies and some misdemeanors in which malice is an element are commonly held to be crimes of moral turpitude.
Serious offenses, such as murder, voluntary manslaughter, kidnapping, sexual assault, robbery, buglary, larceny, aggravated assault, prostitution, and even shoplifting have been held to involve moral turpitude.
The statutory language is as follows:
