Jacelyn and I have ranked the offences from 1 to 10 according to the severity of it, with 1 being the most serious and 10 being the least serious :P
-
Which of these are crimes?
Technically all of them.
Which of them, if any, are victimless?
Solvent abuse (technically) because the only victim is yourself.
What kinds of punishment would you give to these offences?
Urinating against a wall
- community service and pay fines (depending on the owner of the wall)
Driving under the influence of drugs
- prison of up to 30 years (depending on the level of intoxication and the number of fatalities eg: banging somebody and killing that person or just crashing into a pot of plant)
Shoplifting
- for kleptomaniacs, probably seeing a psychiatrist and going for counselling.
- for a normal person, depending on the value of the stolen items eg: for a piece of gum probably just pay back the original price of the gum and apologise to the owner, but for expensive jewelry, jail sentence
How should repeat offenders be dealt with?
Generally, increasing the severity of a punishment to repeated offenders. However, depending on the situation/crime, rehabilitation would be an option.
teehee,
