It's not entirely clear if you're talking about nations or US states here, but in general, the answer is yes. However, extradition is always at the discretion of the state where the person actually is; states sometimes refuse extradition requests for various reasons.
All US states and territories usually honor each other's requests for extradition; there are no 'safe-haven' states. It is impossible to know with certainty whether a particular state will choose to extradite you for a particular offense, or not, there are simply too many variables. It may depend, in part, on the offense and the seriousness of it, and/or how badly they want you returned - most states WILL extradite for felony offenses and crimes of violence.
In recent history it has been rare for one US state to refuse an extradition request from another; when it happens, it's almost always a political statement. These tend to fall into one of a few categories:
- You still have capital punishment, you barbarians, we refuse
- You DON'T have capital punishment, you hippies, we refuse
- A person whose skin is this color cannot receive a fair trial in your state, we refuse
- The "crime" alleged here is something that shouldn't even be against the law, we refuse
