The criminal acts punished by the Revised Penal Code.
Yes. Everyone deserves a chance.
Yes.
yes they should
Agreed. Although I think the offending criminal still deserves to be punished for whatever they were undertaking at the time. However, it depends on the type of crime - a murderer for instance may deserve it, while a thief certainly does not. The question is extremely vague. But assuming the murdered criminal was a rapist, murderer, etc then while the Justice System is the best way to handle it - sympathy shouldn't really be had for them.
Yeah, and if chickens had wings I'd eat them.
A cxriminal case is self-explanatory. A non-criminal case is a CIVIL case.Criminal offenses can be punished by jail/priosn and/or monetary fine.Civil offenses canNOT be punished by jail or prison sentence, only by monetary fines or other sanctions.
Because you can't be punished until AFTER you've been found guilty of doing it.

They had to pay a settlement of $400 million, only about half of the money they earned from criminal activities.
Gimme a break!!! They are punished!!!Corrective addition:This is a legitimate question deserving of a legitimate answer. "Kids", assuming they are minors, may be punished under the juvenile offender laws or may even be tried as adults and punished as if they were adults. However in some cases, if the "kid" is below a certain age and commits a criminal act, the kid might not be punished at all because the "kid" would be presumed to be unable to form the "mens rea" or criminal intent that is necessary for the act to be punishable under the criminal law.A simple example of this is where young children discover a loaded firearm and one shoots the other without understanding the nature of his action. The kid has committed a homicide but not criminal homicide, because he never formed the criminal intent to commit murder.Some might say in this case the kid did not "commit a crime", but that is playing semantics and is not an answer to this question
Misdemeanors do go on one's criminal records. They are punished less severely than felonies, but do fall under the criminal law system.
