Question

Criminal acts range from relatively minor crimes, such as trespassing or shoplifting, to severe crimes, such as arson or murder.

Where would you draw the line between crimes that should a) lead to jail or prison time and b) those that should be handled with a community-based solution like fines or probation?

Answer 1

I feel like it depends on how bad it is Explanation:

say if someone shoplifted, they would probably be handeled with a community based solution like helping out with stuff, now say if someone was m*rd*red then the person who did it would probably get put in jail for awhile.

Answer 2

Generally, the magnitude of the crime will allow to decide whether the offender will be jailed or be handled a fines or probation.

What is a magnitude of the crime?

It means the extent of a crime that is assessed to either be little or high in the society.

   

For instance, a traffic offender have committed a minor crime and will be handled a fine while a murderer has committed a criminal act and will be jailed.

Therefore, the magnitude of the crime will allow to decide whether the offender will be jailed or be handled a fines or probation.
