âEspionageâ can be called an act done for oneâs own country whereas âtreasonâ is an act that is done against oneâs own country. But espionage can become treason when the person involved steals valid information from his own country and gives it to another.
Treason is criminal disloyalty. Historically, in common law countries, high treason is treason against the state. It was differentiated from petty treason (or petit treason), which was treason against a lawful superior (such as a servant killing his master). Petty treason was restricted to cases of homicide in 1351, and came to be considered a more serious degree of murder.
