It's a matter of what is governed by state law versus federal law, which ties into constitutional questions of states' rights. As noted above, most crimes that involve illegal actions across state lines are federal, helping to reduce jurisdictional squabbles. Similarly, counterfeiting is a federal crime, since the federal government is responsible for currency.
