What are some petty crimes?

I can name a few like; begging, phone or computer hacking, downloading "illegal" content from web e.g music, films, racism or discrimination

Shoplifting and theft are considered petty, depending on the extent. But I don't just mean petty crime due to the extent or severity of crime, I'm talking about its actual all-rounded nature (if that makes sense)

It's for a sociology essay and I have to give a deep analysis of these type of crimes...

Can you name me a few?

    Hacking and illegal downloads can be considered felonies. FYI

    Begging isn't a crime

    Racisim isn't a crime

    Discrimination in the workplace is a felony

    Speed limit violations, inspection stickers those are petty

    For your information racism and discrimination aren't crimes, yet. They are still considered to be forms of free speech and expression.
