    My question involves criminal law for the state of:

    I let my friend borrow my laptop computer and she willl not give it back. Can I press criminal charges?
    You can sue your "friend" in small claims court.

    In most states you can only sue for money so you would have to sue for the used value of the laptop. Some states allow you to sue in small claims court for the return of property. You'll have to check your local rules.
