Crimes are punished according to their seriousness, with higher penalties for more serious crimes.
Punishment may include:
* A fine
* Term of imprisonment
* Probation or parole
* Restitution (repayment) to victims
* The death penalty
Depending on the state, the sentencing judge may also have the power to give unusual punishments, such as various kinds of community service.
Penalties for crimes vary greatly from state to state and reflect policy decisions made by courts and legislatures. For example, a state with a significant ranching industry may punish cattle theft very seriously, reflecting the importance of the business of cattle production in that state, while another state may punish it less severely because it is not of great concern in that state.
In deciding an appropriate sentence, a judge may take into account your:
* Prior criminal record
* Age
* Other circumstances surrounding the crime, including your cooperation with law enforcement authorities.
