Rehabilitation is the attempt to reform a criminal.
No. Burglary IS a criminal offense. ATTEMPTED Burglary is an attempt crime.
"A criminal attempt occurs when a person, with the intent to commit an offense, performs any act that constitutes a substantial step toward the commission of that offense. Criminal attempts are of two varieties: "complete" (but "imperfect"); and "incomplete." A complete, but imperfect, attempt occurs when the defendant performs all of the acts that he set out to do, but fails to attain his criminal goal. In contrast, anincomplete attempt occurs when the defendant does some of the acts necessary to achieve the criminal goal, but he quits or is prevented from continuing, e.g., a police officer arrives before completion of the attempt."
Rehabilitation is an attempt to make the criminal whole again. Restorative justice in sentencing takes into account the length of time it might take to rehabilitate a criminal.

You CAN travel if you have a criminal record - HOWEVER - if you are on parole or probation the court will probably place restrictions on your travel so that you don't leave the court's jurisdiction in an attempt to avoid the surveillance and control of either the court or your parole/probation officer. If you are referring to being prevented from entering other countries because of a criminal record - that is that nations privilege to do so. They have enough of their own homegrown criminals to dealwith without allowing anymore into their country.
The procedure is biased in favor of the criminal in the United States. The innocent until proven guilty is an attempt to be sure that innocent people are not convicted.
Criminal attempt is when an extraneous factor interrupts the defendant's attempt to commit a crime. The sentencing would be dependent on the actions of the defendant, and how close he or she came to committing the crime.
