That will depend on which State you are referring to, each State has its own classification for crimes as well as the recommended time for each classification.  check your local statutes on line or at your local library.  You could be more specific and I could answer a bit more specific

I define justice as when someone is caught and convicted of the crimes in which they commited to society.

Most crimes, the only exceptions being very serious crimes like murder and rape, have what is called a statute of limitations associated with them.\n\nThe limits vary depending on the crime committed and the location, and there may be special exclusions in your area, but generally, charges would have to be brought within a year or two of the date on which the crime was committed.

Depends on what country you are in and the actual nature of the crime!

One of the leading causes of crime is poverty. Shame our\nleaders will never acknowledge this. \nJust check out the places where there's the most crime.

There is actually a higher percentage of the black population in prison than the white population.  HOWEVER, it is believed that law enforcement agencies profile criminals, which means that they decide what types of people are more likely to commit crimes.  These profiles may be based on the people who were caught committing crimes in the past.  Black people were caught committing more crimes in the past because they were openly hated and discriminated against by those people in power (or the whites).  \n\nI would say that race has nothing to do with whether or not a person is going to commit crime.  A person's values and whether or not they have other opportunities to make money is going to have more influence.

YES you are correct!. breaking the law doesnt turn you into a criminal. a criminal is someone who commits crimes on purpose and runs away from cops and stuff. immigration, in  opinon, is not a crime, theyre just looking for a better life! is there anything wrong with that?

Sexual Predators, Child Molesters, Sexual Deviants...\n\nand Sociopaths who have no conscience for the destruction they put upon their innocent victims!\n\n*You know who they are, the ones they must separate from the general population even in the prison systems because they are so filthy they cannot be put in with even the harshest of criminals.  Instead they are protected in their own little cells...*

Nope. Technically, a criminal is someone who does something wrong legally. He's taking a legal action, government has the right to war. It's not illegal.

Most murderers have low self esteem, so the act of murdering is the way they make themselves feel big.  If they aren't a killer at heart (which some people can actually be) then they may feel remorse and actually want to get caught. \n\n(You can learn a lot of this crap watching Court TV.)

A CRIMINAL is convicted because of sufficient evidence that convinces a jury beyond a reasonable doubt that they are guilty of a CRIME.  Lying under oath is called perjury, and although a crime, is almost never prosecuted.

When they are committing a CRIME, they already ARE a criminal. It is not making a criminal out of a "normal" person. And face it folks, illegal drugs are just that, ILLEGAL. Hence, they are against the law and posession or distribution of them is a criminal act. Someone committing a criminal act, is by definition a criminal. It is that simple.\n\nAs for jail time. It depends on the person, the history, etc. Just as with many other crimes, the judge must weigh all the facts and make a decision. But if the judge deems that jail time is right for that offender, then jail time it should be. If you do the crime, you have to be ready to pay the piper. And these drug using morons cannot use ignorance as an excuse. They KNOW it is a crime. It is puzzling why they think that their will is greater than the will of the country, and the law. The "if it feels good to me it must be ok" mantra that is prevalent in much of the younger generation is getting out of control.

Depends on the crime.
