Injunctions: Violation of how many or more convictions is a 3rd degree felony?

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Answer: (B)

The key idea is that penalties for violating an injunction increase based on the offender’s history. A single violation is usually a misdemeanor, but if the person has two or more prior convictions for violating an injunction, the current violation is charged as a third‑degree felony. Two prior violations is the threshold that upgrades the offense. This reflects the stricter response to repeat violations to protect those under injunctions. A third‑degree felony carries more severe penalties than a misdemeanor.
