What state? Generally state laws include a specific definition for each offense. The definition might describe certain acts or types of actions. The defined term would then be used when describing an element of a criminal charge. (in this case, it would probably be criminal). \n\nIf you can say which state, you can look up the specific definition.

A criminal case involves a crime, which implies that the person has harmed the public by their action, and deserve some sort of punishment, usually prison time, but sometimes just a fine. In a civil trial, the question is only whether or not an individual was harmed by the person's actions, and the only restitution is financial.

That depends on the state.  Each state has its own penal code, and there are some states that may not even have a category of crime called grand larceny.  It might just be called theft, or something similar.  To look up your answer, I need more information.\n\nAre you talking about an abstract crime, something that would fall under the definition of grand larceny, or are you talking about a specific crime that you think might be termed grand larceny in the state you are discussing?  And what state is that?

There is no general answer.  It depends on the jurisdiction, and then it depends on the particular judge what to do at sentencing time.  Most states take into consideration now whether this is a first offense or repeat offender, the property taken and whether anyone was actually hurt in the theft and so forth.

Pretty self explanitory- but it's crimes that are planned or "organized" by certain people, typically political figures & government officials or mobs, gangs.

~Which one would that be?  Why do you call it a crime?  Would it be a crime if the US did it, or something like it?   Check your history and you facts before you  answer and make a fool of yourself.\n\nCome on, if you are doing to try to start something, state a position and at least try to support it.

Theft is Theft. The law does not differentiate theft on internal and external.\nSo punishment would be the same as for "regular" theft.\nWhich means it will depend on a lot of factors, like:"how much was stolen?", "any previous convictions?", etc etc...

A felony, in many common law legal systems, is the term for a "very serious" crime, whereas misdemeanors are considered to be less serious offenses.\n\nCrimes which are commonly considered to be felonies include, but are not limited to: aggravated assault, arson, burglary, murder, and rape. Those who are convicted of a felony are known as felons. Originally, felonies were crimes for which the punishment was either death or forfeiture of property. Nowadays, felons can receive punishments which range in severity; from probation, to imprisonment, to execution. In the United States felons often receive additional punishments such as the loss of voting rights, exclusion from certain lines of work, prohibition from obtaining certain licenses, exclusion from purchase/possession of firearms or ammunition, and ineligibility to run for or be elected to public office. In addition, some states consider a felony conviction to be grounds for an uncontested divorce.\n\nThe distinction between a felony and misdemeanor has been abolished by some common law jurisdictions (e.g. Crimes Act 1958 (Vic., Australia) s. 332B(1), Crimes Act 1900 (NSW., Australia) s. 580E(1)); other jurisdictions maintain the distinction, notably those of the United States. Those jurisdictions which have abolished the distinction generally adopt some other classification, e.g. in Canada and New South Wales, Australia and the United kingdom the crimes are divided into summary offences and indictable offences

A person commits robbery when he steals, and immediately before or at the time of doing so and in order to do so, uses force or the threat of force, or seeks to put any person in fear of there and then being subjected to force.\n\nThe short definition is 'theft with violence'\n\nI don't know how many people would admit to crimes they did not commit but the definition given above is correct.

Let's take robbery.  You take something from someone else that doesn't belong to you.  It is a crime because you are violating someone else.  That is against our moral code.  When you break moral code there is a chance that your government has passed a law saying that it is illegal to do so.  The laws are in place so that everybody doesn't go around violating others.  The punishment is set by standards of society.  It is also set by what the perpetrator has done in his past (aka prior record).  That determines the sentence for the crime.  The punishment should be putting that person in a place where they have to reflect upon their crime and find the wrong in what they did so that hopefully they will never do it again.\nI hope that answers you question.
