Teaching "Crime and Punishment" can vary in duration depending on factors such as the depth of analysis and discussion needed, the age group of students, and the teaching method. Typically, it may take several weeks to cover the novel thoroughly in a high school or college setting.
A crime is still a crime. If it was a serious offense and has still never been solved, you could still be charged and prosecuted for it. If it was something minor, it may be forgiven or you may receive minimal punishment.
Aggravating circumstances are factors that make a crime more serious or deserving of a harsher punishment, such as the presence of violence or a previous criminal record. Mitigating circumstances, on the other hand, are factors that may make a crime less serious or deserving of a lesser punishment, such as the defendant's age or mental state.

Capital crimes are punishable by death. Murder of a Law Enforcement officer, murder in a particular gruesome or heinous nature. Murder during the commission of a crime etc. It largely depends on the legislation of the country. What may be considered a 'capital' crime in one country may not be in another. There are many countries that have abolished capital punishment completely.
The age varies depending on the laws, but in general anyone below the age of 12 is considered too young to form the requisite intent to commit a crime. Above that age, it is believed that they can intend to commit the crime and can be convicted of it. Whether they are charged as an adult or juvenile will depend on many factors.

My problem with the term 'hate crime' is that it sounds like George Orwell's 'Thought Police.' In addition to the punishment for a crime committed, you can be given additional punishment for what you were thinking. Acording to the Canadian Criminal Code a hate crime is one "motivated by bias, prejudice or hate based on race, national or ethnic origin, language, colour, religion, sex, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, or any other similar factor." It is unclear what the motive was for the original beating or the murder, but since she was different than the others in the group, it can be considered a hate crime.
Capital punishment (when enacted swiftly) is much more effective at deterring crime (there are many studies on this). Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your point of view), more prisoners on death row die of old age every year than from lethal injection. Thus, it probably has little effect.
