It depends. The punishment can be very stiff. For each year that that a taxpayer does not file a tax return, the penalty can include a fine of $25,000 and one year in jail. Incarceration is rare, however, but possible. If the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) can demonstrate that a person or company willfully tried to evade taxation, the IRS can pursue a felony conviction, which could mean a fine of $100,000 and up to five years in jail.

Tax offenders can face significant legal consequences, including monetary fines, imprisonment, or both. The punishment may vary based on the severity of the offense, the amount of tax evaded, and the individual's criminal history. While tax offenses are usually categorized as white-collar crimes, they are still viewed as serious criminal offenses and can result in substantial penalties.

If we punished all the murdering despots, terrorists & war criminals in the world, who would be left to watch them?

What is the Recidivism rate of male sex offenders in New York State prisons?

According to the most recent recidivism study by the New York Department of Correctional Services, average recidivism for all felony offenders was approximately 40%. For sexual offenders, recidivism was significantly lower--approximately 4.2% (new offense of 1st degree sexual abuse), 4.2% (1st degree sodomy), 6.4% (1st degree rape), and 7.7% for "other sex offenses." Sexual offenders have a lower rate of recidivism for new sex offenses, but higher rates of recidivism for non-sexual offenses. (See "2004 Releases: Three-Year Post-Release follow-up" published by New York Department of Correctional Services). It should be of interest that the findings in the above-cited report are consistent with findings in earlier studies by the state of New York and studies by other states.
