Welcome to FindLaw’s Oklahoma criminal law center, with summaries of key criminal laws and procedures for residents of the Sooner State. While the federal government does prosecute some crimes, the vast majority of criminal charges come from the state. Oklahoma statutes address violent crimes such as sexual assault, armed robbery, and the various degrees of murder and manslaughter. State laws also prohibit property-related crimes such as identity theft, burglary, and fraud, in addition to so-called "white collar" crimes involving fraud.
