Before learning about the punishments for the crime of arson, it is important to understand what actions constitute the crime. Arson is the act of deliberately setting a structure on fire, or exploding it, so that any damage such as burning or charring occurs. Specifically, one should know that an arson charge is not dependent upon the extent of the damage; rather, it is an intent-based offense, meaning that the intent to damage the building with a deliberate fire is enough to garner a charge. There are three types of arson: first degree, second degree, and third degree. A person is charged with first degree arson when he or she intentional sets fire to a home, school, church, or other public building. Second degree arson occurs with an intentional fire set to unoccupied residences or abandoned structures. Finally, third degree arson refers to intentional fire set to personal property. Punishment tends to differ among degrees of arson. Also, it may vary depending upon the result of the crime. For instance, arson that results in death or injury is considered aggravated arson, and usually results in a penalty of jail time for at least one year. Remember that arson is a general intent crime, rather than a specific intent crime. A person may be charged with any crime appropriate to the result of the arson. This means that if the crime results in, say, unintended death, the person may still be charged with murder. Arson which is only committed for insurance fraud purposes, however, may not be punished as severely. Less serious arson offenses, such as those to personal property which do not result in any injury, may carry a punishment of only probation, and/or a fine and court costs. Lighter punishment may also include counseling, as arson committed on personal property is generally considered an indication of deeper personal issues. Often, these lesser punishments are the result of a plea bargain, in order to avoid certain jail time. Though some types of arson may result in lower punishment, this should not mean anyone should take it less seriously. Arson is a felony, and will generally remain on a personal record as a felony. A past felony may make punishment harsher for any future convictions. If charged with arson, it is advisable to find a lawyer who has experience and expertise in the field of arson.
