Different offenses should have different punishments. What about these here?
• Shoplifting
• Breaking into a car
• Picking a fight
• Drink driving
• Driving under the influence of drugs
• Solvent abuse
• Urinating against a wall
• Doing a paper round at the age of 11
• Shouting racist abuse
• Being sold alcohol in a bar whilst under the age limit
All of these offenses are crimes. The only exception might be the paper round under the age eleven. In this case, the person who commits the crime would be the person who employs the kid under the age of eleven.
I don't think any of them are victim less, but of course, this could be argued against. There could always be a consequence of the crime committed.
Some committers of these offenses could be thrown into jail, for example, if you break into a car, or shoplift. Others might get away with a fine, like drink driving or driving under the influences of drugs. It actually depends on how heavy the crime is committed. For example, if you were heavily drunk while you were driving, you might be thrown in jail or have a very heavy fine.
I'd say that the person who commits the crime several times should be getting heavier punishment than the punishment before. Each time it should be intensified.
